Abstract :
Evaluation of the MAS-CommonKADS approach for the development of agent-oriented software leads us to propose a number of conceptual modelling elements for inclusion in the metamodelling-based OPEN method engineering approach. In order to support the concepts in MAS-CommonKADS using this existing process framework (namely OPEN), we identify three new tasks, together with two new subtasks and ten additional work products that need to be added to the existing OPEN repository. Using method engineering, it then becomes possible to generate a tailored agent-oriented methodology from this suite of method fragments.
