Abstract

Software agents, modeling and simulation (M&S), and model-driven engineering (MDE) are fields with their distinct body of knowledge and good practices. However, developments in one area can provide new avenues for advancing the methodologies and technical strategies in other fields. This chapter examines the synergies among these three fields by highlighting selected challenges in each area and by delineating how methods developed in each field can mutually be beneficial. We categorize the ways in which the agent paradigm can contribute to critical activities in MDE, and similarly we delineate how domain-specific languages and model transformation strategies can be instrumental in the design, implementation, and management of agent systems.
