Abstract

Since the earliest work in multiagent system development, the need has existed to have a methodology and a modeling notation. A recent approach chosen by several authors is based on UML. The main advantage of UML is to provide a recognized notation in software engineering methodology and strong tools for the development. The approach presented here is called Agent UML (AUML) that synthesizes a growing concern for agent-based modeling representations with the increasing acceptance of UML for object-oriented software development. This chapter covers the first phase (from 1999 to 2002) in the development of Agent UML with the sequence and agent class diagrams and describes future directions that follows Agent UML via the standardization at the FIPA.
