“…This paper extends a previous work [89] and aims to collect all this experience of using statecharts for agent-related research and to show that the EMAS/AOSE area has not only used this formalism as is, but has proposed extensions and practices to further the state of the art. Moreover, and this is novel with respect to the previous work [89], this paper explores real-world systems developed using this formalism and tries to extract trends and to outline the application domains. Finally, we will also take a look into the future by summing up the challenges identified by these works.…”

The purpose of this paper is to map the works in the Agent Oriented Software Engineering and Engineering Multi-agent Systems fields that use the statecharts paradigm to aid the software development process. We did not only focus on finding out the methods that employ statecharts, but also on identifying the application domains suitable for this kind of modeling. To achieve this goal we researched the available literature. We found out that statecharts are used by numerous methods that target diverse application domains such as robotics, internet agents, simulation, health and safety. Moreover, statecharts have been employed for modeling different things, such as the behaviour of agents, agent plans, agent interaction protocols. We also found reports of real-world systems and applications that were developed using these methods in the last 20 years and we identified trends and common characteristics that they have. Concluding, we have mapped the area where statecharts meet agent-oriented methodologies both in theory and practice. Moreover, we provide some exciting directions for future works.
