Abstract
The development of theoretical-based methods for the assessment of multi-agent systems properties is of critical importance. This work is a preliminary investigation on methodologies for modeling, analysis and design of multi-agent systems. Multi-agent systems are regarded as discrete-event dynamic systems and Petri nets are used as a modeling tool to assess the structural properties of the multi-agent system. Our methodology consists of defining a simple multi-agent system based on the abstract architecture for intelligent agents. The abstract architecture is modeled as a discrete-event system using Petri nets and structural analysis of the net provides an assessment of the communication and coordination properties of the multi-agent system. Deadlock avoidance in the multi-agent system is considered as an initial key property, and it is evaluated using liveness and boundedness properties of the Petri net model.
