Developing Multi-Agent Systems through Integrating Prometheus, INGENIAS and ICARO-T

A great number of methodologies to develop MAS systems have been proposed in the last few years. But, a perfect methodology that satisfies all the developer necessities cannot be found. This is the reason why different methodologies are studied to create a new one. In this article, a methodology that includes all steps from the capture of requirements to the implementation and deployment of an agent-based application is proposed. In first place, an Analysis Overview Diagram is created to obtain an initial sketch of the application. Afterwards, the model obtained by following the two first stages proposed by Prometheus methodology – could be integrated into INGENIAS through UML-AT language. Next, the modeling goes on with INGENIAS. Finally, code is generated for the ICARO-T platform.
