IntroductionThe increasing use of multi-agent systems brings challenges that have not been studied yet, such as: how we should adapt requirements elicitation to cope with agent properties like autonomy, sociability and proactiveness.The agent-oriented modelling is proposed as a suitable software engineering approach for complex organizational application domains that deal with the need for new applications.These requirements are not broadly considered by current paradigms.Autonomy and sociability aspects such as the dependency of an agent on another, and how critical this condition should be, have to be analysed from the early stages of the software development process (Wooldridge & Jennings, 1997).
