Mohammad Shkoukani, Rawan Abu Lail · 2013
This paper provides a summary of software engineering process and its importance in open system industry. It describes the agent oriented software engineering development lifecycle. It also focuses on orientation of multi agent systems and on some representative agent oriented software engineering methodologies such as Gaia, ROADMAP, Tropos, and MaSE which are general purpose methodologies. Then it describes some special purpose methodologies such as ADELFE and SADDE. It also presents the phases for each methodology with its strengths and weaknesses. Finally it proposes the development of a new model that combines the features of two of the existing methodologies which are Gaia and Tropos by concentrating on their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.
