Abstract

Real-time agent based systems are characterized by their com-plexity in which several skills are required in all development process stages. Specially, the communication between the dif-ferent development groups is a vital task. The graphical specifi-cations play an interesting role in understanding system aspects. In this paper we propose the transformation of XML based AR-TIS agent specifications to graphical representations. Using our approach we can visualize the ARTIS agent specifications in informal graphical representation designed for all kinds of users or in based object UML diagram designed for specialist users. Moreover, a tool is developed to support the visualization process.
