“…Specifically, the global specification, which is used to represent the global protocol, is translated into partial decentralised specifications-one for each agent of the MAS. In [36,37], other works on runtime verification of agent interactions are proposed for the JADE platform. Specifically, in [36], the authors propose a framework called Multi-agent Runtime Verification (MARV).…”

Multi-agent systems, robotics and software engineering are large and active research areas with many applications in academia and industry. The First Workshop on Agents and Robots for reliable Engineered Autonomy (AREA), organised the first time in 2020, aims at encouraging cross-disciplinary collaborations and exchange of ideas among researchers working in these research areas. This paper presents a perspective of the organisers that aims at highlighting the latest research trends, future directions, challenges, and open problems. It also includes feedback from the discussions held during the AREA workshop. The goal of this perspective is to provide a high-level view of current research trends for researchers that aim at working in the intersection of these research areas.

“…In [36,37], other works on runtime verification of agent interactions are proposed for the JADE platform. Specifically, in [36], the authors propose a framework called Multi-agent Runtime Verification (MARV). In this framework, requirements of MAS interaction during runtime are defined, such as availability and trustability.…”

“…The verification mechanisms of trust in MASs fall into two categories depending on when the verification activities are performed: runtime and design-time. For the first approaches, monitoring is the most common used technique where the verification is performed by monitoring the evolving executions of the target system during the operation phase, and then checking whether the desired properties of the system hold or not (Alotaibi & Zedan, 2010;Bakar & Selamat, 2013;Bauer et al, 2011). Runtime verification can also extract relevant information from a running system and use it to detect undesired behaviors with regard to particular properties.…”

We present a new logic-based framework for modeling and automatically verifying trust in Multi-Agent Systems (MASs). We start by refining TCTL, a temporal logic of trust that extends the Computation Tree Logic (CTL) to enable reasoning about trust with preconditions. A new vector-based version of interpreted systems is defined to capture the trust relationship between the interacting parties. We introduce a set of reasoning postulates along with formal proofs to support our logic. Moreover, we present new symbolic model checking algorithms to formally and automatically verify the system under consideration against some desirable properties expressed using the proposed logic. We fully implemented our proposed algorithms as a model checker tool called MCMAS-T on top of the MCMAS model checker for MASs along with its new input language VISPL (Vector-extended ISPL). We evaluated the tool and reported experimental results using a real-life scenario in the healthcare field.
