The DSML4MAS Development Environment

The DSML4MAS Development Environment (DDE) is a model-driven framework for the development of multiagent systems. DDE is based on the Domain Specific Modeling Language for Multiagent Systems (DSML4MAS) which can be used to specify the main aspects of multiagent systems. DDE provides following features:

• inuitive graphical notation
• code generation for the agent execution platforms Jack and Jade
• model validation based on Object Constraint Language (OCL)
• seamless integration into the Eclipse workbench
• agent-based orchestration of web services
• DDE can easiliy be extended for other execution platforms, new views, etc.
