“…Other examples of agent based approaches in project management field can be found in the work of Kim and colleagues [6], Wu and Kotak [12] or Cabac [1]. As underlined in the introduction, our work makes use of a market metaphor and an auction mechanism to help project managers to take portfolio decisions about resources and about portfolio composition.…”

Abstract. With the increase in globalization, integration of world markets, and rise in the concept of transnational corporations, the importance of project management has increased many folds. An efficient project management helps new enterprises to achieve competitiveness, speed of response, and closeness to customer demands by improving their flexibility and agility, while maintaining their productivity and quality. But for project management to be successful in the new competitive and dynamic environment management, systems should incorporate new characteristics. In these circumstances, the current challenge is to develop information and control systems for project management that exhibit intelligence, robustness and adaptation to the environment changes and disturbances. The introduction of multi-agent systems paradigms addresses these requirements, bringing the advantages of distribution, autonomy, scalability and re-usability. This paper proposes a distributed information and control system for project portfolio management that integrates strategic issues, planning and control into a community of software agents.

“…On the conceptual side, we work on expanding the multiagent-oriented approach to other aspects of the development process like project organization and agent-oriented tool support. Following these directions, we want to achieve symmetrical structures in all three aspects of software development: the system, the development process and the project organization (compare [1]). …”

“…Thus synchronization and conflict solving are provided by the inherent features of the Renew simulation engine. This example and our other previous projects show that Paose together with the guiding metaphor of a multi-agent system of developers [1] enable us to develop multi-agent applications with Mulan. The developed methods and the tool support have proven to be effective in supporting the development process.…”

In this work we present modeling techniques for the development of multi-agent applications within the reference architecture for multi-agent system Mulan. Our approach can be characterized as model driven development by using models in all stages and levels of abstraction regarding design, implementation and documentation. Both, standard techniques from software development as well as customized ones are used to satisfy the needs of multi-agent system development. To illustrate the techniques and models within this paper we use diagrams created during the development of an agent-based distributed Workflow Management System (WFMS).
