	abstract = {Multi-Robot System (MRS) is a complex system that contains many different software and hardware  components.  This  main  problem  addressed  in  this  article  is  the  MRS  design complexity. The proposed solution provides a modular modeling and simulation technique that is based on formal system engineering method, therefore the MRS design complexity is decomposed  and  reduced.  Modeling  the  MRS  has  been  achieved  via  two  formal  Architecture  Description  Languages  (ADLs),  which  are  Systems  Modeling  Language (SysML)  and  Business  Process  Model  and  Notation  (BPMN),  to  design  the  system blueprints. By using those abstract design ADLs, the implementation of the project becomes technology  agnostic.  This  allows  to  transfer  the  design  concept  from  on  programming language to another. During the simulation phase, a multi-agent environment is used to simulate  the  MRS  blueprints.  The  simulation  has  been  implemented  in  Java  Agent Development (JADE) middleware. Therefore, its results can be used to analysis and verify the proposed MRS model in form of performance evaluation matrix. },
