Abstract
In the last few years, the multiagent system’s paradigm has been more and more used in various fields, specially in the simulation field (MAS). Whenever a new application came into being and has been validated by its review board, specialists usually want to reuse it, fully or partially, in order to cut down the time and price of developing similar application.
But this reuse is not as simple as expected. In a previous article, we proposed the DOM modeling to tackle modeling difficulties which arise in a complex system. However this solution has its limits as we will develop here. In this paper, we define a more complete agent modeling, based on the MVC design pattern, in order to to push back these limits.
