Abstract
Multi-agent systems may pose a real challenge to management since resources like hosts, agents or agent societies may have different owners and thus different interests. Management tools for multi-agent systems should take into account these inconveniences in order to apply a proper management. We detected in our study that most current management tools only show information about current state. We also think that information about the history of the system can supply a wealth of additional information to system administrators. In this paper we present MAMSY, a management tool for multi-agent systems aimed at showing and controlling current state and past related information.
