Abstract
The paper presents a framework particularly suitable for the design of a certain class of distributed computational intelligence systems based on the agent paradigm. A starting point constitutes a formalism utilizing the notions of algorithms and dependencies, which allows for the formulation of the system functional integrity conditions. Next, technological assumptions of AgE framework are presented and a direct mapping between the formalism and the implementation structure of the framework is discussed. The approach assumes that component techniques facilitate the realization of the particular system in such a way that algorithm dependencies are represented as contracts. These allow to support the verification of the system’s functional integrity. Selected technical aspects of the framework design illustrate the considerations of the paper.
