一种基于Aalaadin元模型与AUML融合的MAS建模方法

A Modeling Method of MAS Based on Combining Aalaadin Meta-Model with AUML

针对单一利用Aalaadin元模型构建Agent组织模型的信息表达不全和直接利用Agent统一建模语言(AUML)建模比较困难,在指出两者具有很强的互补性后提出了它们融合的建模新方法,即Aalaadin—AUML建模方法,并以电子商务中分销管理的Agent组织为例,介绍了该方法的建模过程.实践证明,Aalaadin—AUML方法不仅扩充了多Agent系统(MAS)组织模型的信息表达能力,而且模型的表示和理解得到了统一。

Since the information fails to be expressed integrally in the agent organization model constructed by the single Aalaadin meta-model and it appears difficult in directly modeling with Agent Unified Modeling Language (AUML), a new modeling method (i.e. Aalaadin-AUML modeling method) combining the Aalaadin meta-model with AUML is presented after pointing out the existing mutual supplements in the both. Taking an agent organization of the distribution management in e-business for example, the modeling process is introduced based on this new method. As it is proved by practice, Aalaadin-AUML modeling method expends the ability of information expression and unifies the notion and understanding in the organization model of multi-agent system.
