In this chapter the design and formulation of a general framework to test and evaluate the performance of the agent based architecture discussed in the previous chapters is presented. The framework is based on a mathematical programming formulation and it proposes a combination of different models specifically designed to evaluate all the different components of a distributed model as the one proposed in the book. In this way it will be possible to use the framework here proposed to benchmark and validate all of the added value services (planning, negotiation) that in the proposed agent based architecture are obviously offered in a distributed fashion. The framework has been validated through a test case and the obtained results are reported.

Abstract
In this chapter the design and formulation of a general framework to test and evaluate the performance of the agent based architecture discussed in the previous chapters is presented. The framework is based on a mathematical programming formulation and it proposes a combination of different models specifically designed to evaluate all the different components of a distributed model as the one proposed in the book. In this way it will be possible to use the framework here proposed to benchmark and validate all of the added value services (planning, negotiation) that in the proposed agent based architecture are obviously offered in a distributed fashion. The framework has been validated through a test case and the obtained results are reported.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
