Semantic Transformation from SARL Agent-oriented Statements to Java Object-oriented Statements

Stéphane Galland, Sebastian Rodriguez

Abstract



As a general-purpose agent-oriented programming language, SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions that are usually considered as essential for implementing agentbased applications. Every programming language specifies an execution model. In the case of SARL, this execution model is defined based upon the object-oriented paradigm, i.e. a Java-based run-time environment. The goal of this paper is the explanation of the mapping between the agent paradigm and the object-oriented paradigm, and the definition of transformations from the SARL constructs to the object-oriented constructs. They enable the SARL developer understanding the SARL statements, and the mapping to executable entities.

Keywords


Agent-oriented Paradigm; Object-oriented Paradigm; Language Transformation; SARL.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
