This paper introduces an approach for the modeling of mobile-agent applications. It aims to deal with the lack of appropriate concepts and notations, in the standard UML, to capture relevant abstractions for the modeling of mobile-agent features. The approach is materialized by an UML profile, which includes views to model organizational, life cycle, interaction and mobility aspects of mobile-agent applications contributing to the analysis, design and implementation phases of their development.
