Abstract

We define a tool-supported design framework that allows to specify an agent goal model and to automatically generate fragments of a BDI agent from it. We devise the design process as a transformation process from platform-independent design models to platform-specific models and then to code. The design framework is demonstrated by referring to the Tropos methodology and to the JADE/Jadex platform. In this short paper, key steps in the process are illustrated through an example.
