Agent UML: A Formalism for Specifying Multiagent Software Systems (2001, background): “In previous papers, we have argued that UML provides an insufficient basis for modeling agents and agent-based systems [1–3], see also [22].”
Handbook on Agent-Oriented Design Processes (2014, methodology): “For example, the “agent” concept is always present in the AOSE methodologies, however in some methodologies such as [6,15,18] the agent appears since Analysis phase, while in other methodologies such as [2,16,20] “agent” is only a design concept.”
SODA: Societies and Infrastructures in the Analysis and Design of Agent-Based Systems (2000, background): “As a result, societies should be considered as first-class components of multi-agent systems, and specific models, abstractions, languages, and methodologies have to be provided for their engineering [11, 13, 14 , 25].”
Agent-Oriented Software Engineering: The State of the Art (2009, methodology): “The proposed modifications include: – support for expressing concurrent threads of interaction (e.g., broadcast messages), thus enabling UML to model such well-known agent protocols as the Contract Net [66]; – a notion of " role " that extends that provided in UML, and in particular, allows the mode”
An Introduction to MultiAgent Systems (2002, background): “enable the modelling of agent systems (Odell et al., 2001; Bauer et al, 2001).”
O-MaSE: a customisable approach to designing and building complex, adaptive multi-agent systems (2010, background): “Protocols are generally defined as patterns of communication between such entities (Odell et al., 2001, 2000).”
