“…In order to facilitate indirect communication (i.e., indirect ways of interaction and coordination), Magentix2 provides the Tracing Service Support [5]. This service is based on the publish/subscribe software pattern, which allows subscribers to filter events satisfying the values of some attributes (content-based filtering), so that agents only receive the information in which they are interested and only requested information is transmitted.…”

“…-Interaction level. Magentix2 provides support to: agent communication, supporting asynchronous reliable message exchanges and facilitating the interoperability between heterogeneous entities; agent conversations [19], which are automated Interaction Protocols; tracing service support [5], which allows agents in a MAS to share information in an indirect way by means of trace events; and, finally, Magentix2 incorporates a security module [34] that provides features regarding security, privacy, openness and interoperability. -Agent level.…”

Norms are used in open Multi-Agent Systems as a formal specification of deontic statements aimed at regulating the actions of agents and the interactions among them. In this paper, we propose a set of services facilitating the development of both non-normative and normative agents for norm-governed MAS. Specifically, we propose to provide agents with norm reasoning services. These services will help agent designers/developers to programme agents that consider norm reasoning without having to implement the needed mechanisms to reason about norms by themselves. This article shows how these services perform as well as the results of the experiments that we conducted to evaluate their performance.

So, any number of monitoring agents can be generated to connect to the events generated by such agents.…”

Abstract. Consensus is a negotiation process where agents need to agree upon certain quantities of interest. The theoretical framework for solving consensus problems in dynamic networks of agents was formally introduced by Olfati-Saber and Murray, and is based on algebraic graph theory, matrix theory and control theory. Consensus problems are usually simulated using frameworks as MATLAB or Mathematica. However simulation using multi-agent system platforms is a very difficult task due to problems such as synchronization, distributed finalization, and monitorization among others. The aim of this paper is to propose a protocol for the consensus agreement process in MAS, implement it in the MAGENTIX2 platform, and integrate the results with a MATLAB in order to get a previous simulation of the system, check the correctness of the algorithm and validate the protocol.

También quisiera agradecer a Fanny todo el tiempo y esfuerzo que ha realizado para revisar minuciosamente el trabajo que he realizado durante esta tesis. Finalmente, me gustaría agradecer a Pablo su dedicación durante mi estancia en el IIIA, pero sobre todo, sus consejos sobre como orientar mi tesis. Ha sido un placer trabajar con todos vosotros.I would like to thank Michael Luck for hosting me at King's College. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to Mike and Liz for the valuable time they have devoted to me during my stay.También me gustaría agradecer a todos los miembros del GTI los buenos momentos que hemos pasado durante estos años. Ha sido una autentica suerte poder formar parte de un equipo comoéste. Me gustaría agradecer especialmente a mis compañeros de laboratorio el haberme alegrado el día a día. Me lo he pasado fenomenal con vosotros.Porúltimo quisiera agradecer a mis amigos y mi familia todo el apoyo ý animos que me han dado en los momentos más difíciles. Gracias a las sabias y consortes por tantas birras o "lo que queráis". Gracias especialmente a mi hermana por haber pasado tanto frío cuando ha venido a verme en mis estancias. Tambien me gustaría agradecer a mis padres su apoyo, sus consejos y el cariño que me han dado. Porúltimo, gracias a Jose por ayudarme y apoyarme en todo. Sin susánimos no sé si habría terminado esta tesis. v vi AbstractInternet is, maybe, the most relevant scientific advance of our days. It has also allowed the evolution of traditional computational paradigms into the paradigm of distributed computation over an open network of machines. Multi-Agent systems (MAS) have been proposed as a suitable technology for addressing challenges motivated by these open distributed systems. MAS applications are formed by agents which may be designed independently according to different goals and motivations. Therefore, no assumption about their behaviours can be made a priori. Because of this, control, coordination and cooperation mechanisms are needed in MAS for ensuring social order and avoiding conflicts. Norms are descriptions of acceptable behaviours and help to define this kind of mechanisms.The notion of norm covers mainly two different dimensions: i) norms as an instrument for guiding citizens when performing actions and activities, so norms define which procedures, or protocols must be followed in a concrete situation; and ii) norms as orders or prohibitions supported by threats of sanction, thus norms are means to prevent or punish certain actions.
