Abstract

this paper, this s ection wills how the impact of a coordination model on the des ign and implementation of a multiagents ys tem, by dis cus s ing the cas es tudy of a multiagents ys tem in charge of managing the review proces s for an international conference [2]. Firs t, we will briefly compare two di#erent approaches to the problem, according to a data-driven [12] and a control-driven [13] model. Then, we will dis cus s an hybrid approach, exploiting the TuCSoN coordination model for multiagents ys tems [10]. As a res ult, wes hould be able to point outs everal relevant cons equences of adopting a coordination viewpoint on the engineering of a multiagents ys tem, which are all bas ically related to thes eparation of concerns between the computation and the coordination is s ues , or, in other terms , between individual and s cial ta s s .des gn focus -- agent interaction protocols can be des gned by focusO ng on its individual tas k(s ) (e.g., concentrating on the information needed and produced/inferred by the agent in the proces s of achieving its tas ks ), in manys ens e dis regarding thes ocial tas k(s ) of the groups the agent belongs to;
