A modeling methodology for MAS based on AUML

AUML is the extension of UML for modeling MAS (Multi-Agent System), which provides a large number of notations, but it is lack of appropriate methodology to guide the usage of these graphics. This paper presents a methodology for MAS modeling based on AUML which gives the corresponding arrangements for modeling process and steps in the full use of AUML graphics. Finally, we treat the Intelligent Question-answering System as the case study to model and verify the methodology.
