“…The author's research experience and results in the use of trace events to retrieve information from running real-time systems, showed that event tracing is an effective way to extract information from critical, embeded systems, in an efficient way, minimizing the computational intrusiveness and without interfering in their regular functionality. Some of this experience, the one published in [37], is included in this thesis as Chapter 2. As a result of this experience, this thesis proposes that an event tracing mechanism for multiagent systems, similar to the one proposed by POSIX for processes, could be used by running agents in order to retrieve information from their environment and from other running agents in the system.…”

“…-(*) L. A. Búrdalo, A. Terrasa, A. Espinosa and A. García-Fornes. Chapter 2 (previously published in [37]) presents results of a study on the influence caused by the over estimation of worst case execution times of tasks in a real-time system. The paper also presents the framework developed by the atuhors to carry on the study.…”

“…The soft scheduling policies under study have been implemented and provided as new scheduling choices for soft tasks at run time. To do this, some of these policies had to be redesigned in order to be provided with POSIX-like interfaces (as presented in [32]). The framework provides a specialized version of the system scheduler module for each policy, in order to avoid the implementation of any given policy to affect any other (in terms of overhead).…”

“…Chapter 3 (previously published in [34]) presents the list of functional, efficiency and security requirements a generic event tracing support has to meet in order to serve as an appropiate indirect communication mechanism for entities in a multiagent system. This list was developed attending to both the authors' previous experience in event tracing, and current, state-of-the-art research in the fields of Event Tracing and Indirect Communication in Multiagent Systems.…”

Desde que empecé, allá por el 2004, he ido leyendo los agradecimientos en las tesis de mis compañeros, al tiempo que fantaseaba con lo que pondría en los de la mía. No me explico cómo, después de tantos años pensando, no se me ocurre nada ahora que por fin me toca a mí. Me vienen tantos momentos y personas a la mente que me siento como un tiburón frente a un banco de peces: no sé ni por qué o quién empezar. Gracias sobre todo a mi familia, por estar ahí siempre y ser una de esas patas que a veces me falta para mantenerme en pie y seguir caminando. Es algo que se suele dar por hecho, pero en realidad no todo el mundo tiene la suerte que he tenido yo con ellos. Gracias a Andrés y Vicente, mis dos directores, por su paciencia y su tesón, por saber encarrilarme cuando tiendo al caos, por saber darme caña cuando ha llegado el momento para poder ponerle el punto final al trabajo de estos años y, sobre todo, por ser mucho más que unos directores de tesis. Creo que hace unos meses ninguno de los tres pensaba que este trabajo se llegase a acabar. Gracias por no tirar la toalla. ¡Cañas y pintas por doquier! Gracias también a Vicente Botti por dejarme jugar con sus trenes allá por el 2002, por haber contado conmigo todo este tiempo y por amenazar con robarme las guitarras si no acababa. Gracias a Ana García-Fornes y a Agustín Espinosa, sin cuyo trabajo una parte importante de esta tesis no se habría llevado a cabo. Gracias infinitas a todos los compañeros y amigos del GTI-YA (GTI-IA Y Adyacentes), por hacer que las horas de trabajo, los volcados de pila en hexadecimal, los malabarismos de L A T E X, los accept y reject, las noches, festivos y vacaciones al pie del cañón pasasen siempre entre cafés, pandorinos, cervezas, testeos de red, charlas de autobús, verbenas, conciertos, películas y muchas, muchas risas: IX provided in the same way than other traditional services offered by the platform. In this way, event tracing can be considered as an additional information provider for entities in the multiagent system, and as such, it can be integrated from the earliest stages of the development process.

This paper presents the integration of the tracing model TRAMMAS in an agent platform called PANGEA. This platform allows to developed multiagent systems modeled as Virtual Organizations. The concepts of roles, organizations and norms are fully supported by the platform assuring flexibility and scalability. Before TRAMMAS, this platform uses a Sniffer Agent to trace the information reducing its scalability as a centralized mechanism. TRAMMAS proposes the use of event tracing in multiagent systems, as an indirect interaction and coordination mechanism to improve the amount and quality of the information that agents can perceive in order to fulfill their goals more efficiently. Moreover, the event tracing system can help reducing the amount of unnecessary information.
