This paper shows how an engineer can use Gaia formulas for modeling thedynamic behavior of an agent role and then transform the formulas to a processmodel compliant to the modern Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN).The Agent Systems Engineering Methodology (ASEME) employs this text tomodel (T2M) transformation for being able to simulate the system models evenafter just the analysis phase. A number of tools allow for simulating processmodels, even optimizing them. Thus, a number of the system’s (non-functional)requirements can be evaluated before even entering the design phase. This helpsan engineer to build a better system capturing its requirements but also a projectmanager to select the appropriate resources for his project’s development basedon the performance of the technologies proposed in an analysis phase iteration.Our work is demonstrated and evaluated through a real world case study.
