摘要：Multi Agent System is one of the upcoming areas in the research/industry for building complex distributed application. MAS encompass multiple features for distributed application. For complex applications the non-functional requirements has the same importance as functional requirements. The non-functional requirements are performance, reliability, maintainability etc. We are focusing on the prediction of performance by considering the characteristics of agents in the early stages of MAS development. Evaluation of the performance at the end of software development leads to increase in the cost of design change. To compare design alternatives or to identify system bottlenecks, the quantitative system analysis must be carried out from the early stages of the software development life cycle. In this paper we propose a framework for predicting performance of a Multi-Agent System by considering the characteristics of agents in the early stages of software development.
