To ensure resilience the designers should guarantee that the system achieves its goals despite changes, e.g., caused by failures of system components. In this paper we propose a formal goal-oriented approach to development of resilient MAS. We formalize the notion of goal and goal achievement in Event-B and propose the specification and refinement patterns that allow us to guarantee that the targeted goals are reached despite agent failures. We illustrate our approach by a case study – development of an autonomous multi-robotic system. date: 2012 date_type: published event_title: 17th International Conference on Reliable Soft- ware Technologies (Ada-Europe 2012) event_location: Stokholm, Sweden event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Pereverzeva, Inna and Troubitsyna, Elena and Laibinis, Linas (2012) Formal Goal-Oriented Development of Resilient Multi-Agent Systems in Event-B.
