....the MASs and their agent components: they use an object oriented description for the overall architecture of the MAS as well as a linear logic language for describing individual agents. Although these might be appropriate choices, they may not meet the needs or the preferences of particular users. [8] extends the work of [20] allowing the design of heterogeneous and open MASs by incorporating a mediator system and a generic agent execution platform. Computational logic has been advocated as a means to specify software, offering distinct ways to analyse the specification and, when needed and ....

....At present, ConGolog has been less useful as an implementation language, although further developments are under way. Another one is the Constraint Logic Programming language CaseLP, which can also be used in the context of a Multi Agent System specification methodology based on linear logic [2] [5]. In this paper we focus on representing reactivity and proactivity in logic programming in the simplest possible way, with the objective of introducing in a declarative fashion all the essential features, while keeping the language as close as possible to the syntax and semantics of logic ....

....i.e. the BDI architecture. Section 2.4 presents ARPEGGIO, an approach that aims at the realization of an open framework based on logic programming for the rapid prototyping of heterogeneous multi agent systems. The ARPEGGIO approach is shared among three international LP research groups [21], including the LP Group at the Computer Science Department of the University of Genova. Our research on CaseLP is intended as a contribution to the di usion of such an approach. Finally, Section 2.5 presents some existing tools for agent based software engineering. 16 2.1 A de nition of agents ....

....Maryland, USA; the LP and SE group at the Department of Computer Science Software Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Australia; and the LP Group at the Computer Science Department of the University of Genova, Italy. The basic ideas behind ARPEGGIO have been presented in a position paper [21]. The American partners of ARPEGGIO have been working for years on the mediation approach to software integration, developing the mediated system HERMES [48, 2] and the Interactive Maryland Platform for Agents Collaborating Together (IMPACT) which builds upon it. An IMPACT agent may be built on ....

....Programming can play a very effective role in the rapid prototyping and testing of a wide spectrum of software applications. The thesis work will be a contribution to the international project ARPEGGIO (i.e. Agent based Rapid Prototyping Environment Good for Global Information Organization) [5], whose aim is the realization of a framework for rapid prototyping and engineering of agent based software. This project will join different research experiences about the realization of complex and distributed applications: work on integration of multiple data sources and reasoning systems by ....

....of available specification languages needs to be extended, and tools for animating the not executable ones should be provided. Also the set of languages and tools which can be interfaced by means of an interface agent should be augmented. These extensions will be faced within the ARPEGGIO project [5]. The purpose of ARPEGGIO (Agent based Rapid Prototyping Environment Good for APPIA GULP PRODE 99 Global Information Organization) is the integration of different research experiences based on Logic Programming, including CaseLP, into a common joint project. It will lead to the development of a ....

....checking, and possibly techniques based on partial evaluation and abstract interpretation. As far as CaseLP is concerned, we plan to extend the system to allowing for a real distribution of the agents on a network, so that prototypes will be closer to final implementation. Finally, as described in [1], we intend to integrate different research experiences based on Logic Programming, including CaseLP, into a common joint project which will lead to the development of the general open framework ARPEGGIO (Agent based Rapid Prototyping Environment Good for Global Information Organization) for the ....
