Towards Toolipse 2. Tool Support for the Next Generation Agent Framework

Abstract

Multi-agent system development is a complex task. In this paper we describe our idea of supporting the multi-agent system development within the JIAC framework by a unified tool solution. We illustrate an approach of providing a development platform, which enables comfortable, quick and comprehensive multi-agent system design and provides semantic searching for available services. At this we start with our latest three feature extensions to the JIAC framework, each one developed in the scope of a diploma thesis, and describe our planned adjustments and ideas to achieve the desired functionality.
