Abstract
In this paper we describe the Agent World Editor, a tool for designing multi-agent systems and generating executable agent code. The tool also unifies the handling of different agent frameworks through an abstract agent model and an extensible transformation infrastructure. Currently, the tool supports three different agent frameworks of the JIAC family, and we feel confident that the approach holds for other frameworks as well as for the generation of multi-agent systems on heterogenous platforms.
