The automatic transformation of software agent designs into implementations for different agent platforms is currently a key issue in the MAS development process. Recently several approaches have been proposed using model driven development concepts to specify generic agent metamodels and/or define a set of transformation rules from the design phase for different agent implementation platforms. However, all these approaches propose different sets of transformation rules for each target agent platform, thereby making the integration of new agent platforms more difficult. In this paper we propose transforming PIM4Agents, a generic agent metamodel used at the design phase, into Malaca, an agent specific platform-neutral metamodel for agents. With only one set of transformations it is possible to specify platform-neutral agents and to generate a partial implementation in Malaca, which can be executed on top of different FIPA compliant platforms.
