Abstract
CIMOSA and GRAI methodologies are mainly used for enterprise modeling. Two supporting tools, respectively VLPROGRAPH AND GRAIMOD, are developed for supporting these methodologies by using multiagent concepts. The architecture of VLPRO-GRAPH (Very Long Process Graph) is based on the assumption that the system will support the MPS creation in the ERP system and will be plugged in to the ERP system database by, for example java connector. The concepts of GRAIMOD are detailed. This tool combines the theory of Multi-Agent systems, Artificial Intelligence and Metaphors of Mind. The tools developed are compared in order to defined opportunities for future research. Both tools are developed by using Java language and Jade platform.
