Scenarios are typical situations that may occur in the operation of a software system. Scenario analysis plays an important role in software requirements analysis and design. This paper introduces a formal notation for the specification of scenarios in agent-based systems. The autonomous and collaborative behavior of an agent can be formally specified by a set of rules describing its activity in various scenarios. The power of the approach is illustrated by the formal specification of Maes' personal assistant agent Maxims. The paper also shows that agents' social behavior, such as speech act, can also be formally specified as scenario-reaction rules.
