Abstract :
Due to the increased applications of agents, agent-oriented software becomes large and complex. To support systematic developments of such software, the agent-oriented software development methodology needs to be developed. This paper focuses on the modeling phase of agent-oriented software development. For agent-oriented software modeling, the Agent Elicitation method, Intra and Inter Agent modeling method are proposed. Agent Elicitation shows how to extract agents from classes in the real world. Modeling methods of agent´s characteristics-Goal, Belief, Plan and Capability-are proposed for Intra Agent modeling. Methods of agent´s mobility and communication in multiagent systems are proposed for Inter Agent modeling
