In software engineering, it is important issue that architects estimate the performance of
software in the early phase of development process. Many approaches translate architecture
based on UML into analytical models. However, in agent based system development, these
approaches ignore or simplify the crucial details of the underlying the performance of an
agent platform. Additionally, architects have only limited kinds of solution to improve
performance of system architecture. In this paper, we propose analytical approach for
performance improvement of multi-agent based system. This approach avoids the need for a
prototype implementation since architects can determine overall form of the performance
equation from the architectural design description and can enhance the system architecture
to derive optimal architecture from analytical model. We verify the effectiveness of our
approach through U-Commerce scenario.
