Özet

In this paper, a modeling tool, called DSML4BDI, for the model-driven development of Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents, is introduced. As being an implementation of a domain-specific modeling language, DSML4BDI tool enables graphical modeling of all BDI components and relations with including the automatic construction of logical expressions and rules required for the system. In addition, its operational semantics, based on the Jason platform, leads to the automatic generation of all codes and other artifacts for the exact implementation of the modeled system. Evaluations performed by the users showed that the tool is capable of high generation performance and its use significantly decreases the development time.
