agentTool III (or aT3) is a project of the Multiagent & Cooperative Robotics (MACR) Laboratory at Kansas State University. agentTool is a Java-based graphical development environment to help users analyze, design, and implement multiagent systems.  It is designed to support the new Organization-based Multiagent Systems Engineering (O-MaSE) methodology.  The system designer defines high-level system behavior graphically using the flexible O-MaSE methodology.  

The initial version of aT3 was released to the public in Fall 2007 as version 1.0.5.  aT3 is be an Eclipse plug-in that will give the agent system designer unprecedented flexibility yet still retain the verification capabilities previously provided.  Eventually, aT3 will provide predictive performance metrics to allow the designer to make intelligent tradeoffs and will generate code for various multiagent platforms.
