The tropos software development methodology
Fausto Giunchiglia, John Mylopoulos, Anna Perini · 2002
Tropos is a novel agent-oriented software development methodology founded on two key features: (i) the notions of agent, goal, plan and other knowledge level concepts are used uniformly throughout the software development process; and (ii) a crucial role is assigned to requirements analysis and specification when the system-to-be is analyzed with respect to its intended environment. This short paper outlines basic elements of the Tropos methodology: the conceptual framework and the analysis process through which design flows from external to system actors through a goal analysis and delegation.
