A Model Driven Development Toolkit for Domain Experts to Modify Agent Based Systems

An agent oriented approach is well suited for complex application do- mains, and often when such applications are used by domain experts they iden- tify modifications to be made to these applications. However, domain experts are usually limited in agent programming knowledge, and are not able to make these changes themselves. The aim of this work is to provide support so that domain experts are able to make modifications to agent systems. In this paper we re- port on an evaluation of our Component Agent Framework for domain Experts (CAFnE) framework and toolkit, giving a detailed account of a usability study we conducted with a group of experienced meteorologists.
