This article discusses the viability of the AUML and UML languages employment, from the latter’s version 2.0 on, in the multi-agent systems project. In this article some works that have used UML for the project of systems that involved agents, as well as some AOSE (Agent Oriented Software Engineering) methodologies that use in some way UML or AUML (or both), are presented. Immediately afterwards the article approaches the AUML language, highlighting the innovations proposed by same and how it can be applied to the multi-agent systems project, identifying its advantages and disadvantages. After that, the paper passes on to describe how UML, from its version 2.0 on, has bypassed AUML and how the former can be applied to the multiagent systems project, pinpointing its positive aspects and its deficiencies.
