A method for designing multi-agent systems
Developping agent systems is difficult mainly because of the lack of methods
for analysis and design. Methods that were developed for object systems
are not adpated to cognitive agents. We thus tried to find methods for
determining agent characteristics. The GAMETH method, proposed by Grundstein,
as a means to determine crucial knowledge inside the enterprise, was extended
by de Azevedo for tackling the analysis step. It was used in particular
in the MEMOLAB project to analyse the functioning of a research laboratory.
The resulting methos was called SAAS.
