Based on common functionality existing among different multi-agent systems (MAS) such as reactivity, deliberation and communication, several tools have been built to develop MAS. Despite these efforts, most of them are targeted to specific application domains or specific types of agents, limiting thus their applicability. This paper describes an approach to develop MAS that aims at providing flexibility by describing common agents abstractions in a reusable manner. As a consequence, our approach supports a broader scope of MAS applications than previous efforts.
