Abstract
A dedicated development method for multi-agent systems requires adequate means to describe the characteristics of agents and multi-agent systems. Compositional multi-agent system development is based on the principles process and knowledge abstraction, compositionality, reuse, specification and verification. Although the paper addreses these principles of compositional multi-agent system development from a generic perspective, some of the examples used to illustrate the notions discussed are taken from the compositional development method DESIRE.
