The increasing demand of software applications constructed conciliating productivity, low cost and high quality, even in complex and changeable domains, turns necessary the elaboration of techniques and methodologies focusing on development paradigms more suitable for approaching these conflicting features, like the multiagent one. On the other hand, the sotware reuse process promotes the creation of new applications employing reusable software artifacts previously developed. This work introduces MAAEM, an ontology-driven methodology for analysis, design and implementation of multi-agent applications through the reuse of models and components that represent the requirements of a family of applications in a domain as well as the corresponding agent-oriented solutions to these ones. ONTORMAS, an ontology whose instantiation is useful for modeling and representing specific applications developed with MAAEM methodology, is also presented. Two case studies elaborated in order to evaluate the methodology and ontology are also described, exploring the cases with and without reuse, respectively, in the touristic and juridical domains.
