  • Current trends in software development are increasingly reasoning about software applications in terms of multi-agent systems (MAS). However, the development of multi-agent applications is still a technically difficult task. One of the main barriers is the lack of comprehensive design practices to move systematically from problem analysis and agent models to effective implementations. This work describes a design approach to assist multi-agent development based on the notion of proto- frameworks, which proposes the materialization of agent models expressed in terms of architectural models into object-oriented counterparts, enabling then different implementation alternatives for multi-agent frameworks according to specific developers needs.
