This paper provides a summary of software engineering process and its importance in open system industry. It describes the agent oriented software engineering development lifecycle. It also focuses on orientation of multi agent systems and on some representative agent oriented software engineering methodologies such as Gaia, ROADMAP, Tropos, and MaSE which are general purpose methodologies. The...

With the emergence of agent-oriented software engineering techniques, software engineers have a new way of conceptualizing complex distributed software requirements. In order to determine the most appropriate software engineering methodology, a set of defining criteria is required. In this paper, we describe the method taken to determine these criteria, as well as a technique developed to assis...

Object-oriented analysis and design have been more concerned with system functionality, neglecting non-functional aspects; the result is code which is tangled and difficult to maintain, contradicting main principles of object orientation. Aspect Oriented Software Development (AOSD) proposes the early specification of non-functional requirements. However, a standard and homogenous vision of the ...

Object oriented software engineering is a software design technique that is used in software design in object oriented programming. The object oriented design is used for developing the new modules in the software systems. It is used for applying the identified requirements. In the MOOD metrics the new project is developed by using various components and these factors helps in the maintainabili...

Quality of software is increasingly important and testing related issues are becoming crucial for software. In order to measure and understand quality, it is necessary to relate it to measurable quantities. Heuristics provide a link between sets of abstract design principles and quantitative software metrics. The aim of object oriented software metrics is to predict quality and improve producti...

A great deal of researches in the area of agent-oriented software engineering focuses on proposing methodologies for agent systems, i.e., on identifying the guidelines to drive the various phases of agent-based software development and the abstractions to be exploited in these phases. However, very little attention has been paid so far to the engineering process subjacent the development activi...

Object-oriented programming has brought many advantages to the software engineering community. Especially, the reuse of existing software components and application frameworks has improved the productivity in software development considerably. Now, the object-oriented programming paradigm has advanced in years and increasingly object-oriented software systems have to be maintained. Program comp...
