Challenges • The bigger the number of resources in the platform is, the more agents are needed
• Hierarchical organization of the agents and their interdependencies
• Complexity of an agent-based system • Exhaustive testing is infeasible
12.11.2015
9
Formal Methods • Based on strictly defined (mathematical) languages and rules
• Provide reasoning about system correctness with respect to postulated properties
• Help to decrease the number of design faults by means of proofs
• Support abstractions, so that the details are added stepwise
12.11.2015
10
Event-B • System Level Modelling
• Stepwise refinement
• Correct-byConstruction Development
• Tool Support –
the Rodin platform

Problem
Many-core platforms enable distributed parallel and efficient computation
Agent-based systems provide active management (monitoring and decision making)
Formal methods are essential for ensuring correctness of the system
Problem: To merge these areas
12.11.2015
12
Objective
To determine methodological aspects of the design and implementation of agent-based systems for many-core platforms considering efficiency (performance, area overhead etc) and resilience of the platform and agentbased management system simultaneously
12.11.2015
13
Research Questions RQ1: How to take into account hierarchical organization of agents? Moreover, how to rigorously design a hierarchical agentbased management system such that its behaviour can be trusted? RQ2: How to integrate dynamic reconfiguration of the platform into agents hierarchy, so that an acceptable level of performance is maintained? Additionally, how to show that the agents will behave resiliently under these circumstances? RQ3: How to avoid data loss when the many-core platform is reconfigured? RQ4: How to evaluate performance of the derived agent-based system? Specifically, how to translate a formal model into a synthesizable code? 12.11.2015

Conclusion Formal rigorous development of agent-based systems taking into account their hierarchical organization
Various dynamic reconfiguration procedures integrated into the agents functionality simultaneously considering efficiency (performance, overhead etc.) and resilience attributes
A mechanism that prevents data loss when the underlying platform is reconfigured at run-time
An approach to a model translation into a synthesizable
description in order to facilitate easier derivation of the implementation and evaluation of non-functional properties in a real-world environment
The approach proposed in the thesis has been validated and evaluated by several case studies from different application domains
