Abstract

Multiagent systems (MAS) research is well established yet there is little development of agent technology in industry. It has been suggested that this is due, in part, to the unavailability of support tools for Agent Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE). This paper suggests requirements for Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to support MAS construction. We suggest that an IDE can be built as its own MAS which allows it to be decoupled from any particular agent framework thereby allowing it to be platform independent.
