Abstract

The multi-agent self-adaptive system requires adaptive adjustments based on the dynamic environment during its runtime. Heterogeneous agents can enhance the efficiency of agent utilization and reduce system construction costs, but also present complex collaboration issues. Therefore, this paper proposed a runtime verification method for heterogeneous multiagent self-adaptive systems based on probabilistic timed automata. The approach constructed a probabilistic timed automaton model by formally describing the functional characteristics of heterogeneous agents and integrating random factors in the environment to simulate the operation process of the self-adaptive system. Regarding the collaboration logic among heterogeneous agents, it established security constraints to ensure the security of state transition processes during system operation. It combined model checking with runtime quantitative verification methods to conduct experiment and applied it in the case of an intelligent unmanned parking system. Experimental results show that the correctness of the cooperation logic between agents can effectively ensure the stability of the system at runtime, and compared with the initial system without runtime quantitative verification, the uptime of the system is increased by about 21% at the same time.
