h2. Description

MAY (Make Agents Yourself) is a tool to build architectures usable to support development and execution of multi-agent systems.

Its main objective is to reduce the development effort of agent-based applications by bringing the development support closer to the business needs through the building of component-based software architectures and reuse of components.
