MDD-based agent-oriented software engineering for ubiquitous deployment

This work presents a Model Driven Development (MDD) approach to agent-oriented software engineering in order to design and deploy application prototypes in a fast and simple way. This approach is specifically addressed to systems including agents that must be executed on mobile or embedded devices. The user will design the system for different platforms by means of unified agent models (UML-like). There will exist different automatic transformations to obtain the specific code for different target platforms from these unified models. On this way, the deployment process of mobile/embedded agent-based applications is simplified.
