Modeling Role Interactions in a Social Organization for the Simulation of the Social Production and Management of Urban Ecosystems: The Case of San Jerónimo Vegetable Garden of Seville, Spain

This paper presents some preliminary results obtained in the modeling of a multiagent system for the simulation of the social production and management of a urban ecosystem, in particular, the project of the San Jeronimo Vegetable Garden of city of Seville, Spain. We introduce a study regarding the interactions between agent roles in this particular social organization. For that, we use Activity Diagrams of UML, which provide a clear visualization of the communication between agent roles and allow the identification of communication protocols used by the agents. Furthermore, we show an initial proposal for the encapsulation of those protocols in Cart Ago artifacts, presenting a more modular approach for agent communication in multiagent systems.
