Methods of object-oriented reactive agents implementation on the basis of finite automata

This paper gives an overview of different automata implementation methods in the framework of object-oriented agent-based systems development. The general idea of this paper is the application of the finite automata to the reactive agents' development (Luger, 2002). Support of several mechanisms of automata interactions allows using discussed methods for multiagents systems implementation. So, this paper describes an approach to solution of one of the paramount problems of object-oriented programming - definition of connections between static and dynamic properties of object-oriented systems. Described methods are used in projects, which were developed in the framework of foundation for open project documentation (Shalyto and Naumov, 2004).
