Resumo: | ||||||||
With law-governed multi-agent systems complexity growth,
it is harder to
design and implement requirements related to dependability
mainly because
there is no control point over such systems. Despite the
great importance of
those problems, there is no solution that fully addresses
those issues in the
context of law-governed multi-agent systems. However,
there is a fault tolerant
technique called Agent Replication that proposes the reuse
of some recovery
concepts of distributed systems through a fault tolerance
based approach on
some data that helps the identification of critical agent.
And, besides the
existents strategies of agents´ criticality estimation,
none of them presents the
granularity degree necessary for the monitoring of law-
governed open MAS´s.
Due to it, the goal of this work is to present a mechanism
of the configuration
variation of the agents´ criticality that interacts in
open MAS´s. To achieve this
goal, an architecture to support the development of fault
tolerant law-governed
open MAS and an approach to design such mechanisms with
simplicity,
modularity and reuse were proposed. This work has three
main contributions:
an extension on the conceptual model of the law-
specification declarative
language XMLaw within new elements to monitor the agents´
criticality; the
integration of two frameworks: one is for law-enforcement
(M-Law), and the
other one is for a dynamic and adaptative agents´
replication (DimaX); and a
proposal of a means to document and derive the laws.
Finally, we present some
sheets of the results of the proposed mechanism
application in two case studies.
