Developing Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) calls for addressing different concerns. Some of them are general and related to the technology and others are particular to each collaborating agent. Our proposal aims to provide a more holistic approach to the construction of MAS. Integrating three different perspectives for information modeling we have achieved a more comprehensible way of dealing, early on, with the different concerns that are akin to MAS. Scenarios is a well known requirements technique; it produces a structured description of one situation that occurs in the real world; i* Framework models organizational contexts using the strategic relationships among actors and; AspectT is a software framework for MAS implementation. In this paper we report our initial findings in integrating these three perspectives. We used a well known example: the Expert Committee, to illustrate the advantage of dealing with these three different perspectives. Our contribution relies on tackling different concerns in an integrated manner during the requirements definition of a MAS development.
