Abstract
Recently a great number of methods and frameworks to develop multiagent systems have appeared. It makes difficult the selection between one and another. Because of that the evaluation of multiagent system software engineering techniques is an open research topic. This paper presents an evaluation framework for analyzing and comparing methods and tools for developing multiagent systems. Furthermore, four examples of usage are presented and analyzed.
