Abstract

The growing complexity of modern systems is demanding more and more time from software designers and developers. The challenge of constructing complex systems is complicated by the geographic distribution of the systems. An agent oriented paradigm reinforces the software flexibility and the agent's social possibilities, taking space as a solution in software engineering. The idea of independent and autonomous entities capable of relating in the search of the system goals originated the multi-agent systems, where at least two agents are capable of interaction. Such systems possess great applicability in different knowledge areas, as for example, in Education. This work defines an Education Multi-Agent System, which is a learning education environment with multi-agents. The system aims at helping the teaching process on a specific topic. The system agents were modeled using the MaSE (Multi-Agent System Engineering) method.
