• Work Plan

• Motivation Over the recent years, research in adaptive

software and software evolution has seen rapid development.Self-adaptive software need to coordinate,manage and negotiate the enactment of a given change plan for saving execution of such unpredictable systems.

The scope of system self adaptation is still limited and no provision is made to manage a system,s proposed change plan or even its impact on other software component

• Negotiation

COOrdination Language (COOL)

• Allow the user to :

1- Define Agent.

2- Manage communication between agent.

3- Structured interaction amongst these

Agent.

4- Use coordination protocol called

conversation classes for structured

interaction.

Examples

Aim & Objectives

• Aim To investigate the development of the

negotiation mechanism required for self-adaptive software through coordinated negotiation.

•Objectives

• Formulation of the general requirement for coordination Support for self Adaptive Software Agents.

• Development of coordination language for self Adaptive Software Agents.

• Generalization of the requirement for coordination support for self Adaptive Software Agents.

Work Plan1.Literature survey of:

(a) Self-adaptive Software agent

(b) Self-adaptive software with specific focus

on coordination and negotiation.

(c) Coordination language:COOL.

2. Implementation coordination language:

- Specification the requirements for coordination language.

-Implementation of description language to associate task

to agent.

-Evaluation of the coordination language.

. 3.Dissemination of the results and thesis preparation.
