Luck, Ashri, D'Inverno
Artech House, 2004

Software The latest JDK, JADE, Zeus, Net Logo, and a CASE tool

Prerequisites Completion of Software Engineering (CS160) with a grade of C- or better. Students who do not have good Java programming skills will quickly fall behind.

Grading Grades will be based on two or three projects and an in-class presentation.

Course Outline After reviewing the traditional OOA topics-- requirements modeling and domain modeling-- we will explore the design, development, and applications of Agent-Based systems. One application area in particular, Agent-Based Modeling, will give us an opportunity to revisit domain modeling from the perspective of processes and protocols.
