Agent Relation Charts (ARCs) for Modeling Cloud Based Transactions

Abstract

Software development is the most central challenge in present day robot system development. This challenge is even more demanding in multi robot systems interacting via one or many connectivity clouds. There is a demand for an overall improvement in the way the robotic software development is done today. This demand is even more critical for cloud based multi robot systems. This article describes multi-view agent relation charts which are modeling and specification tools for software development in cloud connected multi agent systems. ARCs are part of a more elaborate model driven approach for cloud connected agents currently being developed by the authors. The model is being built with a focus on the way human transactions takes place. This article also discusses implementational compatibility of ARCs with object oriented programming methodology.
