....Sequence diagrams from step 2 of the methodology, Applying Use Cases, can be used to help initially define the tasks. Concurrent tasks are tasks that operate in their own thread of control and are graphically specified using Concurrent Task Diagrams that are built using finite state automata [4]. Actions in the states of those diagrams contain the functionality that the role is to perform. A transition between the states represents either internal coordination of tasks within a role or interactions between tasks of different roles. Figure 86 shows an example Concurrent task diagram and ....

....entering an idle state. In the new MaSE agent architecture defined by Sparkman [18] a component is created for each task that is part of a role in an agent class. Each component is classified as reactive, proactive or heterogeneous depending on the type of the task from which it was created [3]. Since concurrent tasks were assumed to operate under their own thread of control, now each component is also assumed to operate in the same way. Thus, a reactive agent is an agent with only reactive tasks while a proactive agent is an agent with at least one proactive or heterogeneous task. ....
....component does not need to receive its own move request message. However, if an agent contains a single transient mobile component then that component does need to receive its own move request message since there can be many instances of that transient mobile component executing at the same time [3]. Finally, if an agent contains two mobile components of any type, all components need to be able to respond to a move request message. 2. Once informed of a move request, each component needs to save the work it was performing and terminate without error. This implies that each component must be ....

....creating agent classes, constructing conversations, assembling agent classes, and system design. In this paper, we present concurrent tasks, which we use in the analysis phase to define the internal processing of communications of roles. A more complete definition of concurrent tasks is found in [2]. 2.Concurrent Tasks We define agent behavior to by a set of n concurrent tasks. Each task specifies a single thread of control that defines the behavior of an agent and integrates inter agent as well as intra agent interactions. We typically think of concurrent tasks as defining how a role ....

....that executes independently of the other tasks. An important aspect of multiagent systems is the ability of agents to interact to accomplish their goals. Concurrent tasks capture this interaction and can be used to specify complex communication protocols such as Contract Net, Dutch Auction, etc. [9]. Concurrent tasks also lay the foundation for conversations between the agent classes in the design phase of MaSE. Figure 3 Concurrent Task Diagram An important property of concurrent tasks is that they are able to capture communication with multiple tasks in order to accomplish their goals. In ....
