| description: | Agent-based methods of system design, implementation and analysis are the main sub-jects of this research. A system is treated as a multi-agent ¿ a dynamic collection of inter-acting autonomous components. Agents-based methods are applied for multi-agent de-velopment in pilot domains ¿ digital maps, cardiography, interactive High Performance Computing, DSL specification. A multi-agent engineering environment is developed in pair with the development of these multi-agent systems. Foundations of the interactivity (ontology, interactive computation, interactive ontology) are considered. Agent ontology is essentially interactive ¿ to adapt agent to a shared ontology of partner agents and, in-fluenced by multi-agent¿s environment. Research hypothesis is, that time notions of agent¿s ontology are necessary for the consensual ontology of system agents. In terms of formal models, it makes necessary the development of a model for time-sensitive interac-tive computation. Methodologically important is that research projects together form a multi-agent system ¿ a flexible research program for agent-based engineering of systems. |
