This paper describes how the Organization-based MultiagentSystems Engineering (O-MaSE) methodology can be applied to an exemplarmultiagent system, the Conference Management System. First,a custom process for the CMS application is created using the O-MaSE Process Framework. Then, each task identified in the O-MaSE compliantprocess is performed and the appropriate models are generated. For theCMS system, we begin by creating a Goal Model via the Model Goalsand Goal Refinement tasks. Once the Goal Model is complete, we createan Organization Model to capture all the interfaces to external actorsand systems. After that, a Role Model is created to capture the functionalityand the logical architecture of the system. Next, based on theRole Model, an Agent Class Model is created. The details of the agentsand protocols identified in the Agent Class Model are further refined intoseveral Protocol Models and Agent Plan Models.
