Abstract

To integrate model transformation technology in agent-oriented software engineering is helpful to improve the quality and efficiency of agent-based software development, and therefore to make AOSE to be widely adopted by researchers and practitioners in software engineering community. This paper integrates model transformation technology into an agent-oriented methodology ODAM that is based on organization metaphor and proposed for complex adaptive systems. The model transformation consists of two steps: from platform-independent models to platform-specific models, from platform-specific models to code. The transformation algorithms in each phase are designed. A software tool that implements the algorithms has been developed as a part of agent-oriented supporting environment.
