Environment as a first class abstraction in multiagent systems
TLDR
We give a definition stating that the environment in a multiagent system is a first-class abstraction with dual roles: (1) the environment provides the surrounding conditions for agents to exist, which implies the environment is an essential part of every multi agent system, and (2) it provides an exploitable design abstraction for building multiagent systems.

Artifacts in the A&A meta-model for multi-agent systems
TLDR
In this article we focus on the notion of artifact for agents in multi-agent systems (MAS) as a basis for a meta-model promoting the modelling and engineering of agent societies and MAS environment as first-class entities. Expand

SODA: Societies and Infrastructures in the Analysis and Design of Agent-Based Systems
TLDR
The notion of society should play a central role in agent-oriented software engineering as a first-class abstraction around which complex systems can be designed and built. Expand

Coordination for Internet Application Development
TLDR
The adoption of a powerful and expressive coordination model for Internet applications based on network-aware and mobile agents, and show how the adoption of TuCSoN can positively benefit the design and development of such applications. Expand

Environment Programming in CArtAgO
TLDR
CArtAgO is a platform and infrastructure providing ageneral-purpose programming model for building shared computational worlds – referred here as work environments – that agents, possibly belonging to heterogeneous agent platforms, can exploit to work together inside a Multi-Agent System. Expand

Challenges and Research Directions in Agent-Oriented Software Engineering
TLDR
In this paper, after a short introduction to the key concepts of agent-based computing (as they pertain to software engineering), we characterise the emerging key issues in multiagent systems (MASs) engineering. Expand

Give agents their artifacts: the A&A approach for engineering working environments in MAS
TLDR
We introduce a conceptual framework called A&A (Agents and Artifacts) which aims at directly modelling and engineering working environments in the context of cognitive multiagent systems; then, we provide a brief overview of the basic technologies that support such an approach, CARTAGO in particular--a Java-based framework for engineeringWorking environments to be integrated with heterogeneous agent platforms.
