Model-driven development for ubiquitous MAS

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to design and deploy Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) using MDD (Model-Driven Development), in a fast and simple way. This approach is specifically addressed to systems including agents that must be executed on mobile or embedded devices. The user will design the system for different platforms by means of unified agent models (using UML-Like models). There will exist different automatic transformations to obtain the specific code for different target platforms from these unified models. On this way, the deployment process of ubiquitous applications (with mobile/embedded agent) is simplified.
