Deduction-Based Modelling and Verification of Agent-Based Systems for Data Integration

  • Conference paper
Man-Machine Interactions 3

Abstract

The work concerns the application of multi-agent systems to heterogeneous data integration, and shows how agent approach can be subjected to formal verification using a deductive approach. Since logical specifications are difficult to specify manually, a method for an automatic extraction of logical specifications, considered as a set of temporal logic formulae, is proposed. A simple example is provided.
