Formal specification and reasoning for situated multi-agent system

We present a formal specification to engineer situated multi-agent Systems (situated MAS), which has revealed the need for specifying and reasoning of its global property. This paper shows how MAS is specified with modified Object-Z notation with trace semantic of action system, and how to reason about safety and liveness property in this specification. Independent and joint MAS examples are are used to illustrate specifying and reasoning in specification for situated MAS.
