Creating Project-Specific Agent-Oriented Methodologies Using a Feature-Based Evaluation Framework and Situational Method Engineering
Zohreh Akbari · 2010
Abstract—Current state of Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) paradigm reports relative lack of industrial acceptance compared to others. This paper proposes a solution to this shortcoming, following the existing approaches that aim to use Situational Method Engineering (SME) in a collaborative manner among AOSE methodology designers, and suggesting the use of a methodology evaluation framework along with the process as well. This framework is a mean to collect the best method fragments and evaluate consecutively the methodology during the development process for possible methodology improvements. The proposed solution as a result, helps software development organizations to reach the fifth level of Capability Maturity Model (CMM).
