Abstract Development of multi-agent systems is a complex process during which use of adequate development tools is essential. This paper focuses on debugging of multi-agent systems. A survey of existing multi-agent systems development tools is presented first.

Semantics in Multi-agent Systems
2012In a large scale, open and distributed environment, interoperability is a key issue which requires a formal definition of the semantics of data model, processes, and knowledge. In this respect, conforming to standards is a first step towards enabling interoperation of autonomous systems.

Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications, 2014
The paper deals with distributed planning in a Multi-Agent System (MAS) constituted by several intelligent agents each one has to interact with the other autonomous agents. The problem faced is how to ensure a distributed planning through the cooperation in our multi-agent system.

Proceedings International Conference on Multi Agent Systems (Cat. No.98EX160), 2002
We have developed the concept of Minimal Multi-Agent Systems (MMAS) to study the organisational dynamics of multi agent systems (MAS) at an abstract level. We have kept the model deliberately minimal to allow for the quantitative and unambiguous analysis of such systems.

Inaccessibility in multi-agent systems
IEEE/WIC International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology, 2003. IAT 2003., 2004In standard situations, agents in a multi-agent community need to communicate each other to accomplish cooperation and coordination of joint activities. Normally it is expected that each agent can contact any other using a reliable communication infrastructure. Often one has to think about situations when a communication subsystem becomes disintegrated

Survivability of multi-agent systems
Proceedings of the fourth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems, 2005The survivability of a large scale Distributed Multi-Agent Systems (DMAS) functioning in dynamic and hostile environments is a significant design and run-time challenge. Delivering the correct proportion of performance, robustness and security is vital to the survivability of a complex adaptive system such as the DMAS.

Complex systems call for a hierarchical description. Analogously, the engineering of non-trivial MASs (multiagent systems) requires principles and mechanisms for a multi-layered description, which could be used by MAS designers to provide different levels of abstraction over MASs.

Innovations in multi-agent systems
Journal of Network and Computer Applications, 2007This paper outlines an abridged history of agents as a guide for the reader to understand the trends and directions of future agent design. This description includes how agent technologies have developed using increasingly sophisticated techniques. It also indicates the transition of formal programming languages into object-oriented programming and how

Proceedings of the 2001 joint ACM-ISCOPE conference on Java Grande, 2001
The multi-agent research community is currently faced with a paradox. While promoting the use of agents as the silver bullet for various software engineering problems, it faces difficulties in presenting successful deployments. Despite the countless multi-agent prototypes that have been developed, the number of actually deployed and in use MAS is at ...

Voting in Multi-Agent Systems*
The Computer Journal, 2006Voting is an essential element of mechanism design for multi-agent systems, and by extension applications built on such systems, which includes ad hoc networks, virtual organizations, and decision support tools implementing online deliberative assemblies.
