Description & Coverage
Description:

Agent-Oriented Methodologies presents, analyzes and compares the most significant methodological approaches currently available for the creation of agent-oriented software systems. The chapters of this book each address the details of one specific agent-oriented methodology, written by the original methodology creators. They highlight the methodology details and also the strengths and motivation. Each chapter also notes any purposeful omissions and weaknesses and each ends with a small case study to exemplify the application of the methodological approach.

Agent-Oriented Methodologies offers the use of a method engineering approach based on the OPEN Process Framework (OPF) to bring together these potentially disparate methodological approaches to sustain the methodology developers and researchers use in creating a more holistic approach that will be suitable for adoption by industry software developers.

Reviews & Statements

I found this book an extremely useful catalogue of agent-oriented methodologies. The methodology comparison at the end of the book is an invaluable tool for the methodologist or method engineer..

Paolo Giorgini is a researcher at the University of Trento, Italy. He received his Ph.D. from the Computer Science Institute of the University of Ancona, Italy, in 1998. He joined the Mechanized Reasoning Group (MRG) at University of Trento in 1989 as pos-doc researcher. He was a visiting researcher at the Computer Science Department of University of Toronto, Canada, in 1998 and also held a visiting professorship at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. He has worked on the development of requirements and design languages for agent-based systems, and the application of knowledge representation techniques to software repositories and software development. He is one of the founders of Tropos, an agent-based oriented software engineering methodology. His publication list includes more than 100 refereed journal and conference proceedings papers, along with five edited books.
