Handling safety-related non-functional requirements in embedded multi-agent system design
Résumé
Appropriate handling of safety-related non-functional requirements is crucial in the deployment of embedded multi-agent systems. In order to capture these requirements, a dedicated activity has been added to the DIAMOND multi-agent design methodology. The purpose of this paper is to present how safety-related requirements are identified during this activity and how they can be integrated in the resulting multi-agent system. We illustrate our approach with an industrial collective robotics application.
