Abstract

In this work we present modeling techniques for the development of multi-agent applications within the reference architecture for multi-agent system Mulan. Our approach can be characterized as model driven development by using models in all stages and levels of abstraction regarding design, implementation and documentation. Both, standard techniques from software development as well as customized ones are used to satisfy the needs of multi-agent system development. To illustrate the techniques and models within this paper we use diagrams created during the development of an agent-based distributed Workflow Management System (WFMS).
