	abstract = {Recently the sector of Functional Structural Plant Modeling (FSPM) has significatively grown (AA.VV., 2004,2007) attracting the attention of researchers from several branches of biological sciences. Objective of FSP Modelers is using a morphological characterization to improve plant eco-physiological modeling. In some case they move from pure mathematical and geometrical simulators used in animation movies and landscape design, in other cases they are to interpretate external characters of a plant. Several tools has been developed, some freely downloadable, others with a commercial mean. Even when they are available at a collaborative level, the plant simulating engine is often embedded with graphics and few efforts has been made to distinguish the task of making a plant from that of representing it on a screen which also means define a standard to code plants. Communicating a virtual plant between programs with different purposes not only allow for a better use of computer resourses but could allow for plants interchange between researchers.
The development of the project required to define and reach several objectives, as the possibility to work on a virtual-plant project at a team level, with different skillness and competencies, and to define a standard language to represent plant structure separated from the geometrical features. Even if the first objective was fullfilled, it seems to require a powerful server when more clients are run at same time, as in web-games. About the second it is probably a former step toward a proposal for an open format for interchange plants at structural level. The simulator, is at present very simple and is still lacking a radiative environment. Java3D allows for self-shading but not for reciprocal shading. Other features which could be important for realistic rendering is physical collisions and gravity, both important to improve space occupation of elements parts in light and other atmospheric interactions. From the other side, the system is per se, already able to simulate a number of plants.},

	title = {From Objects to Agents: Rebooting Agent-Oriented Programming for Software Development},
	abstract = {The notion of agent more and more appears in different contexts of computer science, often with different meanings. The main acceptation is the AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Distributed AI one, where agents are essentially exploited as a technique  to develop special-purpose systems exhibiting some kind of  intelligent behavior. In this paper, we introduce a further perspective, shifting the  focus from AI to computer programming and programming languages, seeing agents and related concepts as general-purpose abstractions useful for programming software systems in general, conceptually extending object-oriented programming with features that -- we argue -- are effective to tackle some main challenges of modern software development. First, we define a conceptual space framing the basic features that characterize the agent-oriented approach, then we show how such features 
are dealt with in practice by using a platform called JaCa. Real-world programming examples are introduced throughout to clarify the discussion.},

	abstract = {In Functional Structural Plant Modeling a main objective is the comprehension of the interaction
between plant morphology and environment, which means the need of developing tools allowing the
user to validate a mathematical model on the basis of its graphical output: the Virtual Plant (VP).
In this study a client-server approach has been used to have the VP simulation engine apart from the
VP rendering, easy to be used also on the internet, whose parts could be developed apart by different competencies (engine developer, parameter estimator, tester) and using different computing resources.
Client and server applications communicate using the SOAP protocol, which is used to exchange
XML documents. An XML dialect (Virtual Plant Modeling Language – VPML) has been coined to code statically a plant grown within a give environment (climate) and a time interval. VPML may code a single plantule as much as a full plant history, made of several snapshots taken during the growing period. VPML only maps plant structure, that is how plant modules (internode, bud, petiole, blade) are connected, together with the values of their parameters, both graphical and physiological.
Graphic features of plant modules are got from separate VRML files, and used on the client to build-
up the VP graphic aspect. The client also allows the user to interact with the virtual plant profiting of the native features of Java3D: user can select, query and prune single modules and submit the modified plant to the server to have it grown to another date.},

	abstract = {Actual trends in software development are pushing the need to face a multiplicity of diverse activities and interaction styles characterizing complex and distributed application domains, in such a way that the resulting dynamics exhibits some grade of order, i.e. in terms of evolution of the system and desired equilibrium. Autonomous agents and Multiagent Systems are argued in literature as one of the most immediate approaches for describing such a kind of challenges. Actually, agent research seems to converge towards the definition of renewed abstraction tools aimed at better capturing the new demands of open systems. Besides agents, which are assumed as autonomous entities purposing a series of design objectives, Multiagent Systems account new notions as first-class entities, aimed, above all, at
modeling institutional/organizational entities, placed for normative regulation, interaction and teamwork management, as well as environmental entities, placed as resources to further support and regulate agent work.

The starting point of this thesis is recognizing that both organizations and environments can be rooted in a unifying perspective.
Whereas recent research in agent systems seems to account a set of diverse approaches to specifically face with at least one aspect within the above mentioned, this work aims at proposing a unifying approach where both agents and their organizations can be straightforwardly situated in properly designed working environments. In this line, this work pursues reconciliation of environments with sociality, social interaction with environment based interaction, environmental resources with organizational functionalities with the aim to smoothly integrate the various aspects of complex and situated organizations in a coherent programming approach. Rooted in Agents and Artifacts (A&A) meta-model, which has been recently introduced both in the context of agent oriented software engineering and programming, the thesis promotes the notion of Embodied Organizations, characterized by computational infrastructures attaining a seamless integration between agents, organizations and environmental entities. },

year = {2010},

abstract = {Agent-oriented programming languages and multi-agent programming technologies provide an effective level of abstraction for tackling the design and programming of mainstream software applications, in particular those that involve the management of  asynchronous events and concurrency. In this paper we support this claim in practice by discussing the use of a platform integrating two main agent programming technologies - Jason agent programming language and CArtAgO environment programming framework - to the development of Web 2.0 applications. Following the cloud computing perspective, these kinds of applications will more and more replace desktop applications, exploiting the Web infrastructure as a common distributed operating system, raising however challenges that are not effectively tackled - we argue - by mainstream programming paradigms, such as the object-oriented one.},
