Abstract

This paper discusses how agent technology can be applied to the design of advanced Information Systems for Decision Support. In particular, it describes the different steps and models that are necessary to engineer Decision Support Systems based on a multiagent architecture. The approach is illustrated by a case study in the traffic management domain.

Work supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology (MCyT) under grant TIC2000-1370-C04.
