Laufzeit: seit 1999

Schlagworte: Multiagentensysteme, Netze-in-Netzen, FIPA, Agentenplattform, AOSE

Ziele: Untersucht wird zum einen die grafische Modellierung von Agenten und Multiagentensystemen mittels Petrinetzen. Dabei ist ein Petrinetzmodell namens Multi-Agenten-Netze (Mulan) enstanden, welches ein Multiagentensystem entlang der Idee von Netzen-in-Netzen modelliert.

Zum anderen lässt sich das Mulan-Modell auch als Implementierung einer Agentenplattform sehen. Die Praxistauglichkeit der Plattform weist die Concurrent Agent Platform Architecture (Capa) nach, die das Mulan-Modell um eine Implementierung von standard-konformen Plattformkomponenten ergänzt. Der Standard, an dem sich die Plattformimplementierung orientiert, wird von der FIPA entwickelt und von diversen anderen Agentenplattformen ebenfalls eingehalten. Aufgabe von Capa ist es, die Kommunikation von Mulan-Agenten mit Agenten zu ermöglichen, die auf anderen Plattformarchitekturen beheimatet sind.
