Abstract
Agent Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) is one of the fields of the agent domain with a continuous growing interest. The reason is that the possibility to easily specify and implement agent-based systems is of a great im-portance for the recognition of the add-value of the agent technology in many application fields. In this paper we present an attempt towards this direction, by proposing a kind of roadmap of how one can combine the Gaia methodology for agent-oriented analysis and design and JADE, a FIPA compliant agent de-velopment framework, for an easier analysis, design and implementation of multi-agent systems. Our objective is realized through the presentation of the analysis, design and implementation phases, of a limited version of a system we currently develop in the context of the IST IMAGE project.
