Abstract
In order to properly understand AML, it is necessary to understand its underlying concepts. This chapter provides the reader with a description of the fundamental concepts used to describe an abstract metamodel of a MAS, referred to as the MAS metamodel [44]. The intention is not to provide a comprehensive metamodel for all aspects and details of a MAS (such as detailed architectural design, system dynamics, or operational semantics), but rather to explain the concepts that were used as the underlying principles of AML and influenced the design of comprised modeling constructs. The presented conceptual MAS metamodel is used as a basis for the design of the AML metamodel described in Part III.
