Fragmenting Prometheus: new choices for developing multiagent systems
Daniela S. Yassuda, Sara Casare, Anarosa A. F. Brandão · 2014
The Medee Method Framework supports the development of multiagent systems based on a Situational Method Engineering approach. It involves a repository that stores method fragments which can be used to compose specific methods to each particular project situation. This work consists in fragmenting the agent-oriented method Prometheus following the Medee approach. In this paper, we present a brief explanation of the repository structure and the step-by-step process of fragmenting methods using Medee. Then, we illustrate how this process was applied to define Prometheus fragments: first, by describing how the method was modeled in SPEM elements; second, by discussing the decisions made in order to outline standardized activity, phase and process fragments.
