Supporting Tropos Concepts in Agent OPEN
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth of interest in agent-orientation as a new paradigm has introduced the need for developing concepts, tools and techniques for modeling and engineering agent-based software systems. Object technology has been supporting the development of information systems for many years but is now slowly evolving to encompass more recent ideas relating to the concept of "agent". Integrating agent concepts into existing 00 methodologies has resulted in several agent-oriented methodologies, one of which is Agent OPEN. In this paper, we evaluate the existing Agent OPEN description against ideas formulated within Tropos, an agent-oriented software development methodology.

A Natural Extension of Tropos Methodology for Modelling Security
Although security is an important issue when developing complex computerised systems, very little work has been done in integrating security concerns in the agentoriented methodologies. This paper introduces extensions to the Tropos methodology to accommodate security. A description of new concepts is given along with an explanation of how these concepts are integrated to the current stages of ...
متن کاملThe Tropos Metamodel and its Use
Tropos is a software development methodology founded on the key concepts of agent-oriented software development. Specifically, Tropos emphasizes concepts for modelling and analysis during the early requirements phase. This phase precedes the prescriptive requirements specification of the system-to-be. In this paper, we present the Tropos metamodel starting from the basic concepts of actor, goal...
متن کاملAnalysing Security Requirements of Information Systems Using Tropos
Security is an important issue when developing complex information systems, however very little work has been done in integrating security concerns during the analysis of information systems. Current methodologies fail to adequately integrate security and systems engineering, basically because they lack concepts and models as well as a systematic approach towards security. We believe that secur...
متن کاملUML for Agent-Oriented Software Development: The Tropos Proposal
We describe a software development methodology called Tropos for agent-oriented software systems. The methodology adopts the i* modeling framework [29], which offers the notions of actor, goal and (actor) dependency, and uses these as a foundation to model early and late requirements, architectural and detailed design. The paper outlines the methodology, and shows how the concepts of Tropos can...
متن کاملA Framework for Design Patterns in Tropos
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) architectures are gaining popularity over traditional ones for building open, distributed, and evolving software. Since the fundamental concepts of multi-agent systems are social and intentional rather than object, functional, or implementation-oriented, the design of MAS architectures should be eased by using what we call social patterns rather than object-oriented de...
