....of MAS development. Also of interest is the MUCCMAS framework which could, with its six (6) grids (only one grid is presented in this paper see Table 1) be used as a guideline for the development of new MAS methodologies. We have also defined a version of our framework with the CML language [15]. As far as future work is concerned, there are several interesting opportunities. Amongst others, there is the refinement of our MUCCMAS framework, the development of a new unified MAS methodology (much in the spirit of the project that gave birth to UML) and the development of computerized ....

....example of exploitation of Internet Intranet. In our team, we have developped a component, called WebCokace, that enables to distribute expertise on the Internet (Corby and Dieng, 1997) The expertise is modelled in the CommonKADS framework (Breuker and Van de Velde, 1994) with the CML formalism (Schreiber, Wielinga, Akkermans, van de Velde, and Anjewierden, 1994). WebCokace relies on the hypothesis that CommonKADS may be useful for building knowledge based corporate memories. WebCokace takes advantage of the Web technology to interface an expertise model development environment with an HTTP server. The expertise model environment functions in a server ....

....are well structured, but have still an informal, interpretative flavor which is required for abstracting real world data on problem solving into a coherent framework. Therefore, in KADS the conceptual modeling language (CML) has a frame like representation and a graphical mode of expression [Schreiber et al. 1994]. The problem with CML s informal vocabulary and for that matter, any other conceptual modeling language is that it lacks precision in its semantics. In practice this appears less of a problem as KADS users have a strong tendency to create their own vocabulary within the structural ....
