There is a need for agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) methodologies that support the conceptual modelling of mobile agent systems. In this paper, we present m-GAIA, our extension to the GAIA methodology for modelling mobile agent systems. m-GAIA incorporates explicit constructs to perform the analysis and design of multiagent systems which include mobile agents. We also present our experiences in mapping the conceptual models developed in m-GAIA to an implementation using the Grasshopper mobile agent toolkit.
