Abstract: |
Model-Driven
Software Development (MDD) is a software engineering paradigm that uses
models as a means to specify, test, verify and generate code for the final
application. Domain-Specific Visual Languages (DSVLs)
are frequently used as high-level notations to specify such models, and hence
the systems to be built. In this way, developers work with concepts close to
the domain, and need not be experts in lower-level notations, thus increasing
productivity. In this paper we show the
application of MDD to agent- based simulation. In particular we present the
design of ODiM, a DSVL for Modelling
and Simulation of Multi- Agent Systems. The language is made of four
different diagram types, used to define agents’ types, their behaviour, their sensors and actuators and the initial
configuration. We have built a customized modelling
environment integrated in Eclipse, and a code generator for MASON, a
Java-based agent simulation language which allows
the visual simulation of ODiM models. |
