description Agent-based computing can be considered as a promising approach and powerful technology to develop applications in complex domains by designing and developing applications in terms of autonomous software entities. This prompted attempt by many researchers to find ways to facilitate the development process, which typically includes building different models. The transformation of system specifications into models and their subsequent translation into code is often performed by relying on unstandardized methods, hold back adaptation to rapid changes in technology.
