Abstract
Object-oriented software development methodologies have adopted a model-driven approach to analysis and design phases. Currently, a similar approach is being adopted for Multi-Agent Systems to improve the development process and the quality of the agent-based software. Model-Driven Development is a technique that allows to obtain executable code by means of transformations from models and meta-models. This work presents a transformation process that allows to generate automatically the code of an agent over his execution platform. That is, an agent is developed under the MDD approach in an easy and transparent way for the user. The code obtained from the transformations is executed over Andromeda and JADE-Leap embedded agent platforms.
