Towards a reusable and maintainable multiagent system engineering (MaSE) methodology

Multiagent System Engineering Methodology (MaSE) is a general purpose agent-based software engineering method for developing heterogeneous multiagent systems. The goal of MaSE is to guide a system developer from an initial system specification to a multiagent implementation. This paper discussed on...
