I found this interesting publication related multiagent systems “Building the Core Architecture of a NASA Multiagent System Product Line” and I’m trying to get the most out of it, even if is just for personal amusement.
It has been a while now since I formally studied Multiagent Systems Architectures; almost ten years ago and even when my research work was for a masters degree I remember that I had a conclusion kind of the one proposed by Joaquin Peña in his Ph.D. work last year; there are a bunch of agents being developed for a given domain and there is no identification of common core actions that can be created first and then derive the family of agents based on that core.
So that means that we all saw that during all this time but no one did anything to fix it until now that he and several others are researching the topic of Product Line Architectures and Multiagent Systems.
I guess that by looking at that statement in the conclusion of his article was the introduction for me into his research.
So far I haven’t got into the details of the paper nor the MaCMAS methodology, I’m reading the background of the research and refreshing my mind a little bit before I get inside the details of that methodology.
