MAY's main objective is to reduce the development effort of agent-based applications by bringing the development support closer to the business needs through the building of component-based software architectures and reuse of components. MAY is a part of an approach to better take into account the functional and non-functional requirements of such application by explicitly separating the production of the multi-agent system design from the production of the abstractions the latter relies on.
MAY is available with a library of reusable components that are dedicated to multi-agent systems.

Using MAY

MAY is a free software (LGPL) developed by the SMAC group as part of its work on the development support for multi-agent systems and is available as an Eclipse plugin (that relies on the Xtext plugins).
Practical information (source code, tutorial, examples, mayling-list…) is available on the MAY Documentation and Development Center.
