Abstract

In software engineering community there is an increasing effort of design and development of multi-agent systems (MAS). However, agent system development is currently dominated by informal guidelines, heuristics and inspirations rather than formal principles and well-defined engineering techniques. In this paper we present a framework for agent-based software development called Agent-SE. We present methods to generate organizational information for cooperative and coordinative agents.
