This paper introduces an agent-based software development method.It defines a limited number of components of an agent-based software system and shows the possibility of designing and implementing actual software.Starting points in developing agent-based software are the business rules and the basic agent-based concepts as defined in the paper.A notation for visualizing the defined concepts is introduced.The notation of the unified modelling language UML is used.The possibility to define rules for mapping agent model elements onto source code is shown using the JADE agent platform.
