Recent efforts towards the Semantic Web have resulted in powerful languages such as Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) based on OWL-DL and RuleML. Rule languages and inference engines incorporate reasoning capabilities to Semantic Web application systems. In this paper we present an approach for the design and specification of ontology-driven multi-agent rule-based systems. We use the Maude rewriting system and its Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) model checking tool to verify response time guarantees for the target systems. We present
T
OVRBA, an extended version of a verification tool developed by the first author, for ontology-driven multi-agent rule-based systems which allows the designer to specify information about agents’ interactions, behavior, and execution strategies at different levels of abstraction.
T
OVRBA generates an encoding of the system for the Maude LTL model checker, allowing properties of the system to be verified. We illustrate the use of the framework on a simple healthcare system.
