A multi-agent system is a system composed of several software agents, collectively capable of reaching goals that are difficult to achieve by an individual agent or monolithic system. Many useful methodologies have been proposed to develop multi-agent systems. However, existing development methodologies for agent based system are not suitable for inexperienced developers. In this paper, we propose a design pattern based agent development methodology to support the inexperienced developer. Specifically, the proposed methodology covers the overall development process from requirement analysis to system deployment. We offer a CASE tool to support the methodology. We implement an E-commerce system development example to evaluate our methodology. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
