Research on the Agent-oriented software metrics model

Software metrics about Agentoriented software is urgently needed because of the rapid development of Agentoriented technology. Some new metric concepts and theory have been proposed in the paper. The suite of metrics includes Total Number of Agent(TNOA),Depending Degree(DGD),Depended Degree(DDD),Number of Interaction(NOI),Total Number of Interaction(TNOI),Social Rationality(SR),Quantity of Knowledge(QOK),Learning Capability (LC),Responsive Time(RT) and Intelligence Quotient of Agent (IQOA). Based on the suite,a measure tool system prototype,Metric Agent(MA),is developed,and its algorithm is given.
