[Modeling] Metamodel framework for MAS

[James Odell]

Dear Modeling TC participants,

Am forwarding some interesting papers that could be used to help specify the
AUML metamodel.  In particular, they involve Core AUML metamodel notions for
agent class, roles, groups, and materials.  These references are:
