چکیده

The key role of environment as a first-class abstraction in the engineering of MAS (multi-agent systems) is today generally acknowledged in the MAS community. However, the support for the notion of environment in today AOSE (agent-oriented software engineering) methodologies is still either absent, weak, or incomplete at best. In this paper we first review, classify and compare existing AOSE methodologies according to their support for the notion of MAS environment. Then we suggest a general approach for extending existing AOSE methodologies toward full environment support.

Method integration: An approach to develop agent oriented methodologies

Agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) is an emerging field in computer science  and  proposes some systematic ideas for multi agent systems analysis, implementation and maintenance. Despite the various methodologies introduced in the agent-oriented software engineering, the main challenges are defects in different aspects of methodologies. According to the defects resulted from weaknesses ...

Evaluation Framework for Agent-Oriented Methodologies

Many agent-oriented software engineering methodologies have been proposed for software developing; however their application is still limited due to their lack of maturity. Evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of these methodologies plays an important role in improving them and in developing new stronger methodologies. This paper presents an evaluation framework for agent-oriented methodolog...

Analysis and Design of Agent-Oriented Information Systems (AOIS)

Analysis and design of information systems (IS) is the process of eliciting the system’s requirements and transforming them into a model that could be used to develop IS. Analysis and design of agent-oriented information systems (AOIS) relates to the very same process when it is applied to IS that are designed around the multi-agent paradigm. A comprehensive and rigorous methodology for develop...

From Objects to Agent Societies: Abstractions and Methodologies for the Engineering of Open Distributed Systems

We argue that the coming of the Internet era has raised issues that traditional object-oriented software engineering methodologies seem not ready to address. In this paper, we first discuss the intrinsic limitations of the object abstraction in the engineering of complex software systems, and compare it to the agent abstraction. Then, we show how an agent-oriented methodology should take into a...
