O-MaSE: A Customizable Approach to Developing Multiagent Development Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the Organization-based Multiagent System Engineering (O MaSE) Process Framework, which helps process engineers define custom multiagent systems development processes. OMaSE builds off the MaSE methodology and is adapted from the OPEN Process Framework (OPF). OPF implements a Method Engineering approach to process construction. The goal of O-MaSE is to allow designers to create customized agent-oriented software development processes. OMaSE consists of three basic structures: (1) a metamodel, (2) a set of methods fragments, and (3) a set of guidelines. The O-MaSE metamodel defines the key concepts needed to design and implement multiagent systems. The method fragments are operations or tasks that are executed to produce a set of work products, which may include models, documents, or code. The guidelines define how the method fragments are related to one another. The paper also demonstrates two examples of creating custom O-MaSE processes.

متن کاملO-MaSE: An Customizable Approach to Designing and Building Complex, Adaptive Multiagent Systems
The complexity and scope of software systems continues to grow. One approach to dealing with this growing complexity is the use of intelligent, multiagent systems. However, due in part to its relative infancy when compared to other software paradigms, the use of multiagent systems has yet to be used extensively in industry. One reason is the lack of industrial strength methods and tools to supp...
