The GMF-based syntax tool of a DSML for the semantic web enabled multi-agent systems

Internal complexity of agents makes development of agent-based software systems complicated. On the other hand, MAS implementation becomes even more complex when new requirements and interactions for environments such as the Semantic Web is considered. A Domain Specific Modelling Language (DSML) can provide the required abstraction and hence support a more fruitful methodology for the development of MAS especially working on the new challenging environments like the Semantic Web. In this paper, a graphical syntax tool is introduced in which agent developers can model MASs according to a DSML called Semantic web Enabled Agent Modeling Language, SEA-ML. © 2011 ACM.
