In this paper a set of guidelines, techniques and tools to develop software for multiagent systems (MAS), named COMPOR, are introduced. The main objetive is to provide an effective approach to deal with the dynamic and openness characteristics of such systems. COMPOR is based on a conceptual model for a society of agents named MATHEMA and on the component based software development. We present a methodology, a component model, a framework, and an environment to aid during the development process of MAS. We also discuss the aplication of COMPOR for an electronic commerce negotiation problem.
