Abstract

Doktorska disertacija istražuje organizacije i koordinacije u višeagentskom sustavu s motrišta daljinskog upravljanja s programskim sustavom u mreži. U disertaciji su istražene razlièite organizacije višeagentskih sustava i postupaka koordinacije pokretnih agenata za daljinsko upravljanje programskim sustavom te je odabran tim agenata kao prikladan i izvršena analiza različitih koordinacija. Mreža pokretnih agenata proširena je formalizmima za opis tima agenata koji izvršavaju skup zavisnih poslova. Za analizu različitih koordinacija u mreži pokretnih agenata napravljen je alat za proračun izvođenja skupa operacija pomoću kojeg su proračunata vremena izvođenja za različite parametre sustava. Zaključeno je da za većinu slučajeva najbolje rezultate daje koordiniranacija gdje je svaki agent zadužen za poslove na jednom čvoru. Odabrano rješenje s timom pokretnih višeoperacijskih agenata specificirano je metodologijom MESSAGE i notacijom AUML. Oblikovana je kooperacija agenata koja se zasniva na standardnim FIPA protokolima i ACL komunikacijom. U agente je ugrađeno znanje koje je specificirano ontologijom. Specifikacija je implementirana u prototipu MA-RMS. U implementaciji je bilo potrebno nadograditi mehanizme za kooperaciju FIPA protokolima i ACL komunikacijom. U prototipu je ugrađeno znanje planiranja daljinskog upravljanja. Na studijskom primjeru upravljanja programom MonALISA u gridu CERN-a, napravljena je verifikacija u laboratorijskim uvjetima.

Abstract (english)

The disertation investigates organization and coordination in multi-agent system for management of remote programming system in the network. Enabling remote program management in distributed systems with hundreds computers is important. Existing maintenance systems does not support program testing on the remote system. Different organizations of multi-agent systems and mobile agent coordinations are investigated. Team of agents was selected as suitable organization Mobile agent network was expanded with agent team and coordination. Tool for calculating execution time was build and is used for analysis of different agent coordinations. It was concluded that agent coordination in which one agent is responsible for operations on one node, gives the best results for the most cases. Selected agent team solution with multi-operation agents was specified with MESSAGE metodology and AUML notation. Designed agent cooperation is based on FIPA standards. Remote program management knowledge was specified by defining ontology. Specification was implemented in MA-RMS prototype which is based on agent platform Grasshopper. Grasshopper addon for FIPA protocol and ACL communication was improved. Knowledge for operation creation was implemented as well as planning operation execution. Remote management of program MonALISA in the CERN grid was used as case study for verification in laboratory environment.
