A Model Driven Approach to Agent-Based Service-Oriented Architectures

Traceability-centric model-driven object-oriented engineering

“…Furthermore, there are a lot of works to integrate MDD with various development paradigms: web application development [12][13][14], general software system development [8][9][10][11], feature-oriented development [15,16], aspect-oriented development [17], and service-oriented development [18][19][20]. However, by observing the gap between our work and related model-based OO approaches such as [8][9][10], we can find the necessity of our work.…”

“…Many works on MDD such as [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] use models to represent different levels of abstraction and propose (semi-) automatic transformations between them in order to keep the complexity of software development manageable. And some of them [8,11,17] also consider the traceability as a key feature in the development.…”

Evaluating software engineering techniques for developing complex systems with multiagent approaches

“…Other approaches hold that agents and services can communicate in a bidirectional way. They have to provide a mapping between the language protocol used in the multiagent system and the service language protocol and vice versa [31,32]. Still other approaches hold that the communication is only useful in one direction, (i.e., agents invoke services but not viceversa).…”

Model Driven Development of Semantic Web Enabled Multi-Agent Systems

“…Some of the studies also include interoperability of agent systems and service-oriented architectures (SOA). For instance, Zinnikus, et al 65 proposed a new framework for rapid prototyping of SOAs. It contains a modeling part concerned with applying MDD techniques, a flexible communication platform for Web services and an autonomous agent part for negotiation and brokering in SOAs.…”
