Analysis, Comparison and Selection of MAS Software Engineering Processes and Tools

The evaluation of multiagent system software engineering techniques is an open research topic. Nowadays, on the market there are a great number of methods and frameworks to develop multiagent systems. It makes difficult the selection between one and another. In this paper, an evaluation framework for analyzing, comparing and selecting methods and tools for developing multiagent systems is presented.
