Agent UML Sequence Diagram and Meta-model
UML sequence diagrams used to define basic interactions between objects at the level of method invocation while they are not well-suited for describing the complex interactions as they occur in multi-agent systems. In order to solve this problem,Agent UML is proposed based on UML2.0 by OMG and FIPA. Three extensions to UML are analyzed and an example is utilized to show the Agent UML sequence diagram. The major elements of this Agent UML sequence diagram are lifeline,message,execution occurrence,event occurrence,combined fragment and interaction operator. On this condition a draft Agent UML sequence diagram meta-model as a UML class diagram is proposed and the main differences between the UML2.0 meta-model and the draft Agent UML metamodel are researched. Our Agent UML meta-model has a constructive influence on the evolution of Agent UML for the specification of agent interaction protocols.
