Abstract

Modeling of Roles, Collaborations and Interactions are most crucial issues towards analysis and design of effective Multi-Agent System (MAS) dynamics. In this paper, a graph-based specification called, Multi-Agent System Architecture Graph (MASAG) has been proposed to model such dynamic aspects of MAS. MASAG includes two components, namely, Agent Collaboration Graph and Agent Interaction Graph towards analysis and design of role-based agent collaborations and agent interactions respectively. Several properties of MASAG components shows that the proposed approach will be effective towards the design of varieties of dynamic facets related to the design of complex agent oriented system.
