Abstract

Multi-agent executions become a difficult to follow task when there are lots of agents working concurrently. Programmers need to know if the system is working according to their expectations. In such situations, debugging tools are useful to follow the execution traces, but are not enough for such complex systems. An alternative solution is to save the execution traces (logs) in data warehouses, where they will be analysed through data mining techniques and queries. These techniques offer the programmer a summary of the execution parameters and even the discovery of unexpected patterns.
