This paper presents the Process for Agent Specification, Simulation and Implementation (PASSIM), a simulation-based development process for Multi-agent Systems (MASs), which was obtained by integrating the well-known and established Process for Agent Societies Specification and Implementation (PASSI) methodology and a Statecharts-based simulation methodology supporting functional and nonfunctio...

This paper presents a case study to illustrate the features and the stages of the Tropos methodology. Tropos is an agent-oriented software engineering methodology that covers four development stages: early and late requirements analysis, architectural design and detail design. The electronic Single Assessment Process (eSAP), and electronic system to deliver the integrated health assessment of h...

This paper reports on our work on three complementary directions, aimed at developing: (i) a theoretical framework named UFO (Unified Foundational Ontology) for (re) design, evaluation and integration of conceptual modeling grammars and models; (ii) the ARKnowD agent-oriented software engineering methodology to develop knowledgecentered systems and processes; and (iii) methodological contributi...

A key challenge for agent-oriented software engineering is to develop and implement open systems composed of interacting autonomous agents. On the one hand, there is a need for permitting autonomy in order to support desirable system properties such as decentralised control. On the other hand, there is a need for restricting autonomy in order to reduce undesirable system properties such as unpr...

This paper presents the MESSAGE/UML agent oriented software engineering methodology and illustrates it on an analysis case study. The methodology covers MAS analysis and design and is intended for use in mainstream software engineering departments. MESSAGE integrates into a coherent AOSE methodology some basic agent related concepts such as organisation, role, goal and task, that have so far be...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) differ from non-agent based systems because agents are intended to be autonomous units of intelligent functionality. As a consequence, agent-based software engineering methods must complement standard design activities and representations with models of the agent society. Some methods coming from artificial intelligence community address social knowledge and relationsh...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) architectures are gaining popularity over traditional ones for building open, distributed, and evolving software required by today’s corporate IT applications such as e-business systems, Web services, or enterprise knowledge bases. Since the fundamental concepts of multi-agent systems are social and intentional rather than object, functional, or implementationoriented,...

Modeling real world agent-based systems is a complex endeavour. An ideal domain specific agent modeling language would be tailored to a certain application domain (e.g. virtual worlds) as well as to the target execution environment (e.g. a legacy virtual reality platform). This includes the use of specialized domain concepts, information models, software languages (e.g. query languages for reas...
