PECULIARITIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN OF MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS

Abstract

The analysis of the notion of «agent» in different multi-agent systems development methodologies has been made. The common for different methods principles of development of multi-agent systems based at existing developed methods of projecting of software support have been overviewed. The way of introducing the agent not only as an indivisible entity, but also as a system that could be multi-agent, have been offered. It`s also offered to overview as an external environment of the agent all entities that are directly included into the agent. The method of unification of development of multi-agent systems for different levels of detailing of target system due to unification of the notion “agent” with using of recursive detailing of system projecting has been offered with using of this view.
