abstract = "This article presents the models of an agent-oriented methodology called MAS-CommonKADS . This method-
ology extends the knowledge engineering methodology CommonKADS with techniques from object-oriented
and protocol engineering methodologies. The methodology consists of the development of seven models:
Agent model that describes the agents; Coordination model that describes the interactions between soft-
ware agents; Communication model that describes the interactions between human and software agents;
Expertise model that describes the reasoning process of the agents; Task model that describes the tasks
that the agents carry out; Organisation model that describes the social structures between human and
software agents; and Design Model that describes the design decisions about the agent architecture and
agent network. The main advantages of the application of this methodology are: (1) a clear software devel-
opment life cycle for multiagent development; (2) graphical and textual notation for each model; (3) project
management through the de nition of landmark states in each model; (4) usage of standardised languages
for describing the conversations between the agents; and (5) usage of knowledge engineering techniques for
knowledge acquisition and knowledge reutilisation.",
