| Abstract |
The intrinsic complexity of self-organising MASs (multi-agent systems)
makes it difficult to predict global system evolutions at early stages
of the design process. Simulating high-level models to analyse properties
of a MAS design can anticipate detection of incorrect / wrong design
choices, and allow tuning of system parameters. In this paper, we
take abnormal-behaviour detection as a case study, and devise an artifact-based MAS architecture inspired by
principles of the human immune systems. We use stochastic pi-calculus
to specify and run quantitative large-scale simulations, which allow
us to verify the basic applicability of our IDS (intrusion detection
system) and possibly obtain a preliminary set of its main working
parameters. |
