Abstract
Most existing AOSE methodologies ignore system extensibility, interoperability and reusability issues. Ontologies have been
found to play a significant role in facilitating interoperability, reusability, MAS development activities (including MAS
analysis and agent knowledge modelling) and MAS run-time operation (including agent communication and reasoning). However,
most of the existing AOSE methodologies do not provide support for ontology-based MAS development. In light of this shortcoming
of the existing AOSE work, we have developed MOBMAS – a “Methodology for Ontology-Based MASs”. In this paper, as part of its ongoing evaluation, we demonstrate MOBMAS on a peer-to-peer (P2P) community-based information
sharing application. MOBMAS is used by an experienced software developer, who is not an author of the methodology.
