TLDR
This paper attempts to build a bridge through a conceptual mapping between Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and the AgentSpeak(L) family of AOP languages and uses the analysis of this mapping to drive the design of a new programming language entitled ASTRA.Abstract:
Agent-Oriented Programming (AOP) researchers have successfully developed a range of agent programming languages that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Unfortunately, despite the in-community success of these languages, they have proven less compelling to the wider software engineering community. One of the main problems facing AOP language developers is the need to bridge the cognitive gap that exists between the concepts underpinning mainstream languages and those underpinning AOP. In this paper, we attempt to build such a bridge through a conceptual mapping between Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and the AgentSpeak(L) family of AOP languages. This mapping explores how OOP concepts and the concurrent programming concept of threads relate to AgentSpeak(L) concepts. We then use our analysis of this mapping to drive the design of a new programming language entitled ASTRA.read more

ALAS: agent-oriented domain-specific language for the development of intelligent distributed non-axiomatic reasoning agents
TL;DR: An extension of the agent-oriented domain-specific language ALAS to support Distributed Non-Axiomatic Reasoning is presented, to allow programmers to develop intelligent agents easier by using domain specific constructs.

An Interface for Programming Verifiable Autonomous Agents in ROS
TL;DR: In this paper, an interface for integrating BDI-based agents into robotic systems developed using ROS is presented, which uses the Gwendolen language to program BDI agents and makes use of the AJPF model checker in order to verify properties related to the decision-making in the agent programs.

Journal ArticleDOI
Agent-oriented programming
TL;DR: The concept of agent-oriented programming is presented, the concept of mental state and its formal underpinning are discussed, a class of agent interpreters are defined, and a specific interpreter that has been implemented is described.

On agent-based software engineering
TL;DR: It will be argued that the development of robust and scalable software systems requires autonomous agents that can complete their objectives while situated in a dynamic and uncertain environment, that can engage in rich, high-level social interactions, and that can operate within flexible organisational structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agent-based software engineering
TL;DR: The paper considers the problem of building a multi-agent system as a software engineering enterprise and discusses three issues: how agents might be specified; how these specifications might be refined or otherwise transformed into efficient implementations: and how implemented agents and multi- agent systems might subsequently be verified, to show that they are correct with respect to their specifications.
Agent Oriented Programming
TL;DR: This paper describes features of the agent oriented programming framework in a little more detail, and summarizes recent results and ongoing AOP-related work.
