Abstract

Multi-agent systems are distributed systems of loosely coupled agents. Description and construction of these systems are eased by separating their structure from their dynamic behavior. ANote is a modeling language for multi-agent system analysis that supports this approach. It provides a notation language which supports multi-agent system analysis through its decomposition into structural and behavioral views. Each view is responsible for picturing an important aspect, while ignoring less important details. This paper describes the ANote notation language and its views. The notation language is described and illustrated by an example, an e-insurance system.
