Abstract

Multi-agent systems modeling is a very demanding task especially because the software development processes currently being used are based on different paradigms. This work proposes a process to specify agent-oriented information systems that extends RUP. The models are specified through successive refinements using use cases as the reference to express the system requirements. The design model takes into account the infrastructure services required to implement the solution using a multi-agent approach. The models are represented basically by extended UML and AUML diagrams and notations.
