Abstract

The popularity of agent-based systems has increasedrapidly in recent years. A number of software engineeringframeworks/methodologies have been proposed to supportmulti-agent systems construction. How well are softwareengineering methodologies in support of multi-agentsystems development? What are the strengths and weaknessesof such attempts? In this paper, we report our experiencefrom the application of a software engineering frameworkfor multi-agent systems. The framework is rooted inthe Belief Desire Intention (BDI) formalism and an extensionof the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Our focusis to present lessons learned by applying this framework toan agent-based intelligent elevator system. We also identifysome research issues.
