Building Moderately Open Multi-Agent Systems: The HABA Process

In this work we propose a development process for Moderately Open Multi-Agent Systems. Our process has the advantage that it allows both high- and low-level behavior specifications. The HABA.DM methodology, the HABA.PL programming language, and the HABA.PM project manager are the structural elements of the HABA development process we propose. As an example, we use a real-world application. It implements a prototype for the collection and analysis of seismic data.
