Paper Abstract:
|
Agent systems are unique in their design and functionality; as such, they require unique techniques to pro-file, reverse
engineer, test, and secure. The Agent Systems Reference Model (ASRM) provides a standard for the development and
deployment of agent systems. To support the informed construction of the ASRM, we explored existing techniques for
obtaining dynamic analysis data for agent frameworks, motivated the development of new techniques providing more
concise and cleansed data, and identified mappings of existing agent frameworks and systems to the ASRM. In this
paper, we describe our experience and challenges in analyzing agent systems, and with using that data to construct a
comprehensive reference model. |
