ulti-agent real-time systems have been promising by achieving behavior between agents in various environments. Agents are being e variety of applications from mobile systems to complex mission However current methods and tools that aid in the development of ent systems are still underdeveloped. In this paper, we propose an d designing multi-agent real-time systems based on UML. The ated by an elevator example. al-Time System, Development Method, UML the most complex of systems to develop [1]. The autonomy in the ontributes inherently to this complexity. The tasks performed by the mple or complex in itself, but the agents’ autonomy makes the emergent multi-agent system both hard to design and hard to verify. Nevertheless, required that the agents cooperate with each other and the users in a in nner. Often it is essential to analyze requirements on the behaviour of the in relation to behavioural properties of the individual agents, in order to right properties. New applications on the area of distributed real-time eat deal of complexity to the systems, special requirements on the dynamic itions. The development of real-time systems has been following the trend of a considerable amount of real-time applications is inherently distributed e can name the network of electronic components in today’s automobiles. t have requirements on flexibility and self-regulation that are not possibly development process explained above. If a failure occurs in one electronic ctivity that requires co-operation with other components, the outcome of . Due to their fixed relation and lack of self-regulation, the components odify their run time behaviour in order overcome the problem. One could manage all the elements, but the approach of a decentralized decision ge of no single point of failure and reduced flow of data and commands, isions. The actual development level of micro-controller electronics,
