This seminar is oriented to give details on Multiagent System Engineering methodology invented in Air Force Institute of Technology, and to demonstrate the functionality of the software that implement this conceptual scheme - AgentTool. This software is still under development but till now it supplies very intuitive user-friendly interface for heterogeneous agent environment design, and scheme export to different implementation languages [Java, JADE].
 
At the end of presentation is included an introduction to the CRobots simulator for programmable agents (robots) which activity on an environment (battlefield) is scripted in various program language. While the environment is fixed or supports specific functionality, agent activity implementation is entirely left to the designer.

MaSE and AgentTool Documentation
These are the resources for MaSE methodology and how to use AgentTool. The only disadvantage is that there is still no User Manual for the new release of the environment.
