Sommario/riassunto

The characteristics of software systems are undergoing dramatic changes. We are moving rapidly into the age of ubiquitous information services. Persistent computing systems are being embedded in everyday objects. They interact in an autonomous way with each other to provide us with increasingly complex services and functionalities that we can access at any time from anywhere. As a consequence, not only do the numbers of components of software systems increase; there is also a strong qualitative impact. Software systems are increasingly made up of autonomous, proactive, networked components. These interact with each other in patterns and via mechanisms that can hardly be modeled in terms of classical models of interaction or service-oriented coordination. To some extent, future software systems will exhibit characteristics making them more resemblant of natural systems and societies than of mechanical systems and software architectures. This situation poses exciting challenges to computer scientists and software engineers. Already, software agents and multi-agent systems are recognized as both useful abstractions and effective technologies for the modeling and building of complex distributed applications. However, little is done with regard to effective and methodic development of complex software systems in terms of multi-agent societies. An urgent need exists for novel approaches to software modeling and software engineering that enable the successful deployment of software systems made up of a massive number of autonomous components, and that allow us to control and predict their behaviour.
