Abstract
The theory and application of agents and multi-agent systems is now experiencing a new surge in interest in the international commercial sector. As a result, a cacophony of modeling notations is beginning to emerge. This presentation discusses the issues involved in extending the OMG’s UML 2.0 as a possible starting point. This approach is under debate from both the object and agent groups. Some believe that agents are just objects with a few more feature, and some believe that agents share absolutely nothing in common with objects. This talk presents examples from work already underway and discusses the work that still needs to be addressed.
