  1. WP1 : Meta-modelA1.1 : Study of the state-of-the-art Volha Bryl, Fabiano Dalpiaz, Paolo Giorgini University of Trento MEnSA kick-off meeting, 4-5 June 2007

  2. WP1 • Objective • Define an integrated meta-model • Create a basis for merging and extending major existing AO methodologies • UNITN expectations • Work in tight collaboration with partners • Provide support, express preferences, give feedback • Produce a usable result • At least for WP2 and WP3

  3. Meta-model : Definition • Understood as • a set of building blocks (concepts), relationships and rules used to define methodologies, • where concepts are • modeling constructs • activities and processes • Represented with the help of • Software Process Engineering Metamodel (SPEM) • People, which are playing roles, perform activities that use work products to create new work products • OPEN Process Framework (OPF)

  4. Meta-model : Content • Will be based on • Existing AO methodologies • Existing agent infrastructures • With extensions coming from • Comparison and integration of state-of-the-art approaches • Evaluation (WP4) • Feedback from partners • UNITN research interests (e.g. autonomic computing)

  5. A1.1 : State of the Art • Focus on • GAIA, Passi, Prometheous, SODA, and Tropos • JADE,MARS, TOTA, and TuCSoN • More to look at • MESSAGE, INGENIAS,AOR, … ???

  6. AOM Genealogy

  7. Tropos Meta-model Concepts • Actor • Intentional entity: role, position, agent • Goal and softgoal • Strategic interest of an actor • Task • Particular course of action to satisfy a goal • Resource • Physical or informational non-intentional entity • Social dependency • Between two actors to accomplish a goal, execute a task, or deliver a resource

  8. Tropos Meta-model

  9. GAIA Meta-model Concepts • Agentsplayingroles • Defined in term of • responsibilities • permissions • activities • protocols

  10. GAIA Meta-model

  11. PASSI Meta-model

  12. Organizing Work in A1.1 • Study state of the art • AO methodologies • Agent infrastructures • Focus on • Meta-models (when described) • Concepts, rules, and relationships • Reconstruct meta-models when necessary • Which does not always mean “when missing” • E.g. in Tropos

  13. Expected Inputs in A1.1 • …from UNIBO and UNIMORE • With respect to your methodologies and infrastructures • Recommend materials • Support in reconstructing meta-models • Provide feedback

  14. Conclusion : Status of A1.1 • Work done • Study AO methodologies state of the art • Work to do • Study agent infrastructures state of the art • Reconstruct meta-models when necessary • Produce the deliverable • And possibly, scientific publication(s)

  15. Discussion • Questions, objections, suggestions, …?
