A MDA Approach for Agent-oriented Development using FAML

Abstract

There are several multi-agent development modelling tools to aid system design and implementation. How-ever, such tools are modelling language specific, which imposes the use of a given modelling technique. This paper presents a MDA approach for multi-agent system development based on the FAML meta-model. Thus the approach aims to support a wide range of modelling techniques.
