Towards a Roundtrip Approach1 Model Contains the system specification2 Code is produced from the specification for a custom JADE

based agent platform3 Some changes are uploaded to the specification

(CodeUploader/AppLinker)4 Model management and code generation is perfomed by

the INGENIAS Development Kit

Structure of the metamodel for CASE tool

Objects Metamodel: Contains the Abstract Syntax of MLGraphs Metamodel: Views of the Whole Model (withnodes and edges)Layouts Metamodel: Spatial InformationProject: CASE Tool data: project, tool version , etc.

Each Metamodel is instantiated with one model.I. García-Magariño, J. J. Gómez-Sanz, J. Pavón Modelling MAS
