RESUMO

One of the challenges of software development is to produce applications that are designed to evolve, reducing maintenance efforts. Many techniques developed to govern the interaction laws in open multi- agent systems were proposed, but the flexibility and reuse concerns of interaction laws were not systemically fulfilled by them. The technology of g- frameworks intends to guide the design and the implementation of interaction laws in open multi-agent systems, aiming to facilitate the production of interaction law governance mechanisms. The flexibility in g-frameworks is achieved by specific increments that the instances under development require, to complete and adapt the original functionalities of the g-framework. The reuse in g- frameworks is related to a common design and codification of that interaction laws that are shared by instances developed with the g-framework. The benefits of this approach might positively impact the development of software considering the costs and the necessary time to construct the family of governance mechanisms of multiagent systems. In this thesis, some techniques to promote reuse of interaction laws were propose to fulfill this goal. One method to orient the development of g-frameworks is proposed. Experiments were developed and they are described in this thesis.
