“…The answer, at the unit/agent level, depends on compilation and the execution model of those frameworks. For frameworks like Jade and JS-son [23], that use mainstream programming languages to define agents, these tools should be compatible out of the box with minor effort [24]. For cross-compilation-based frameworks like Astra [14] and ASC2 [27] it is only the matter of tooling (e.g.…”

“…Recent works as e.g. [23,27] investigated various issues holding when mapping logic-oriented agent-based programs into an operational setting. In contrast, this paper focuses instead on the development practice aspect: as soon as we attempted to program data-sharing applications as agents, we experienced the lack of mature software engineering toolboxes, thus hindering a continuous integration with the infrastructural-level components developed in parallel by our colleagues.…”

Testing undeniably plays a central role in the daily practice of software engineering, and this explains why better and more efficient libraries and services are continuously made available to developers and designers. Could the MAS developers community similarly benefit from utilizing state-of-the-art testing approaches? The paper investigates the possibility of bringing modern software testing tools as those used in mainstream software engineering into multi-agent systems engineering. Our contribution explores and illustrates, by means of a concrete example, the possible interactions between the agent-based programming framework ASC2 (AgentScript Cross-Compiler) and various testing approaches (unit/agent testing, integration/system testing, continuous integration) and elaborate on how the design choices of ASC2 enable these interactions.

“…The experiment is implemented using the JS-son agent-oriented programming library [89,90]. The agents' reasoning loop and environment management in the JS-son library is documented in detail in [89] 8 . The beliefs of these agents change according to the situation, and accordingly, the parsimonious explanations are formulated.…”

“…According to an EMAS community report [27], one of the key points of criticism of the state of affairs of EMAS is the lack of integration between EMAS and more widespread software engineering approaches. Some recent works aim to address this issue, for example by integrating agent-oriented programming and modern "high-level" programming languages like JavaScript [10,22,23], and by providing resource-oriented abstractions to interact with autonomous agents and multi-agent systems [13]. While these (and similar) tools help push the frontier of modern agent-oriented programming towards practicality, no holistic agent-oriented perspectives on the complete software engineering life-cycle seem to exist.…”

In this paper, we propose the integration of approaches to Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS) with the Developer Operations (DevOps) industry best practice. Whilst DevOps facilitates the organizational autonomy of software teams, as well as the technological automation of testing, deployment, and operations pipelines, EMAS and the agent-oriented programming paradigm help instill autonomy into software artifacts. We discuss the benefits of integrating DevOps and EMAS, for example by highlighting the need for agent-oriented abstractions for quality assurance and test automation approaches. More generally, we introduce an agent-oriented perspective on the DevOps life-cycle and list a range of research challenges that are relevant for the integration of the DevOps and EMAS perspectives.
