Next generation agent development supporting tool: case study

Agent based development is a new technology that has been recently used in many domains. However, the development of an agent-based system can be difficult and time-consuming for inexperienced developers. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a pattern based agent development and support tool. This approach facilitates rapid agent development and addresses common design problem. The agent patterns are classified according to function. We apply this approach for agent development, based on a travel assistant scenario.
