Supporting Requirements Analysis in Tropos: A Planning-Based Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software systems are becoming more and more part of human life influencing organizational and social activities. This introduces the need of considering the design of a software system as an integral part of the organizational and social structure development. Alternative requirements and design models have to be evaluated and selected from a social perspective finding a right trade-off between the technical and social dimension. In this paper, we present a Tropos-based approach for requirements analysis, which adopts planning techniques for exploring the space of requirements alternatives and a number of social criteria for their evaluation. We describe the tool-supported analysis process with the help of a case study (the e-voting system), which is a part of a project funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento.

Using the Tropos Approach to Inform the UML Design: An Experiment Report
Tropos is an agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) methodology, based on the notion of actors, with goals and plans, and spanning all the phases of software development, from the very early phases of requirements analysis down to the actual implementation. The effectiveness of such methodology in the production of better design documents is evaluated in this study, by investigating the nul...

This paper synthesizes two trends in the engineering of agent-based systems. One, modern agent-oriented methodologies deal with the key aspects of software development including requirements acquisition, architecture, and design, but can benefit from a stronger treatment of flexible interactions. Two, commitment protocols declaratively capture interactions among business partners, thus facilita...

Some of important strategic decisions which should be made in this field are, namely the way that manufacturing facilities should be applied as well as assignment and design the system of delivery...
متن کاملA CASE Tool to Support Automated Modelling and Analysis of Security Requirements, Based on Secure Tropos
Secure Tropos, an extension of the Tropos methodology, considers security requirements alongside functional requirements, from the early stages of the system development process. The Secure Tropos language uses security concepts such as security constraint, secure goal, secure plan, secure resource, and threat to capture the security concepts from both social and organisational settings. These ...
متن کاملTowards an Agent Oriented Approach to Software Engineering
This paper describes a methodology for agent oriented software engineering, called Tropos1. Tropos is based on three key ideas. First, the notion of agent and all the related mentalistic notions (for instance: goals and plans) are used in all phases of software development, from the early analysis down to the actual implementation. Second, Tropos covers also the very early phases of requirement...
