Abstract

Unified Modeling Language (UML 2.0) is the upcoming standard of the Object Management Group for specifying object-oriented software systems. In this paper, we will show how UML 2.0 can be applied for the specification of agent-based systems. Moreover, we will give a short overview on existing agent methodologies to have a reference what has to be specified in such systems. The paper concludes with some outlook for further research and open issues for specifying agents with UML 2.0.
