Abstract :
The application of ontologies in Software Engineering presents several advantages. Ontologies allow for the formalized and integrated representation of models and their documentation in a same knowledge base, making the selection of these artifacts more precise through semantics inferences. They are also easily expandable and integrable. This paper introduces ONTORMAS, an ontology-driven tool for multi-agent systems development which integrates concepts from Multi-agent Domain and Application Engineering following the guidelines of the MADEM and MAAEM methodologies.
