C. Gutiérrez thanks Francisco Garijo for his continuous help on the use and codification of ICARO-T case study. This research work has been funded by the Spanish Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness through the project “SOCIAL AMBIENT ASSISTING LIVING - METHODS (SociAAL)” (TIN2011-28335-C02-01).

Abstract

Cooperative Multi-agent Systems frameworks do not include modules to test communications yet. The proposed framework incorporates robust analysis tools using IDKAnalysis2.0 to evaluate bullying effect in communications. The present work is based on ICARO-T. This platform follows the Adaptive Multi-agent Systems paradigm. Experimentation with ICARO-T includes two deployments: the equitative and the authoritative. Results confirm the usefulness of the analysis tools when exporting to Cooperative Multi-agent Systems that use different configurations. Besides, ICARO-T is provided with new functionality by a set of tools for communication analysis.
