商品描述

Today, when computing is pervasive and deployed over a range of devices by a multiplicity of users, we need to develop computer software to interact with both the ever-increasing complexity of the technical world and the growing fluidity of social organizations. The Art of Agent-Oriented Modeling presents a new conceptual model for developing software systems that are open, intelligent, and adaptive. It describes an approach for modeling complex systems that consist of people, devices, and software agents in a changing environment (sometimes known as distributed sociotechnical systems). The authors take an agent-oriented view, as opposed to the more common object-oriented approach. Thinking in terms of agents (which they define as the human and man-made components of a system), they argue, can change the way people think of software and the tasks it can perform.

The book offers an integrated and coherent set of concepts and models, presenting the models at three levels of abstraction corresponding to a motivation layer (where the purpose, goals, and requirements of the system are described), a design layer, and an implementation layer. It compares platforms by implementing the same models in four different languages; compares methodologies by using a common example; includes extensive case studies; and offers exercises suitable for either class use or independent study.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在今天,當計算普及並且由多樣的使用者在各種設備上部署時,我們需要開發與技術世界日益複雜和社會組織日益流動相互作用的電腦軟體。《智能導向建模的藝術》提出了一種開放、智能和適應性的軟體系統開發的新概念模型。該書描述了一種用於建模由人、設備和軟體代理在不斷變化的環境中組成的複雜系統的方法(有時被稱為分散的社會技術系統)。作者們採取了一種代理導向的觀點,與更常見的物件導向方法相對。他們認為,以代理為思考方式(他們將代理定義為系統的人類和人造組件)可以改變人們對軟體及其執行的任務的看法。

該書提供了一套統一且一致的概念和模型,將模型分為三個抽象層次,分別對應於動機層(描述系統的目的、目標和需求)、設計層和實現層。它通過在四種不同的語言中實現相同的模型來比較平台;通過使用共同的示例來比較方法論;包括廣泛的案例研究;並提供適合課堂使用或獨立學習的練習題。
