Abstract
In this article, it is shown how the behaviour of a multi-agent system can be validated thanks to proof. At first, the method used is briefly presented [10]. Then, the variant notion is presented and an extension of this notion to prove MAS is introduced. In the third part, the proof technique is illustrated for the prey-predator problem: the behaviour of the predators can be induced from the failures in the proof process.
