多主体系统开发环境的结构化评价框架SEF及评价结果

近年来学术界和工业界推出了大量的多主体系统开发环境(MASDE：Multi—Agent System Development Environment)。如何评价已有的各种MASDE，帮助软件开发人员从大量、异构和多样化的MASDE中选择“合适”的MASDE以及促进MASDE的标准化和集成化是目前人们面临的一项重要研究课题。本文从工程实践的角度提出了一个结构化的MASDE评价框架SEF；并对一组典型的MASDE作了深入的分析和评价，得到了一系列重要的评价结果。与已有工作相比较，SEF具有多视角、易于操作、可扩展以及独立于应用等特点，能较好地用于描述、分析和展示MASDE的基本特征、发现其优势和不足。

A Structural Evaluation Framework and Results of Multi-Agent System Development Environment

Recently many Multi-Agent System Development Environments (MASDEs) have been developed. There- fore, in the literature of AOSE,it has become an open issue to evaluate the various MASDEs in order to help the de- velopers select the proper MASDE from different MASDEs, and promote the standard and integration of MASDEs. In this paper, a structural evaluation framework (SEF) is presented, which have such characteristics as multi-perspec- tive, easy-to-use, extensible and independence of application. Based on SEF, a number of typical MASDEs are select- ed and eveluated, and some important evaluation results are obtained.
