Abstract
Agent based computing is generally intended for modeling and implementation of distributed complex problems. Despite the existence of many applications, the problem of rational engineering of multi-agent systems remains complex and difficult. The purpose of this paper can be summarized within two claims. First, we aim at providing an approach that gives some guidelines for specifying and designing multi-agent systems. Secondly, we focus on the formalisms as a language for describing the models produced in each development process phases. These seem to be straightforward, while the development of multi-agent systems is still done, in most cases, without using methods and formal modeling such as those generally used in object oriented software. We illustrate this approach by specifying an example based upon a specific agent architecture.
