AOSE TFG Budapest meeting, 17/9/2005 Methodologies evaluation Agentlink III AOSE TFG Budapest, 17 sep. 2005 Evaluation framework for AOSEM Towards an evaluation framework for AOSEM Previous approaches Questionnaire results Review Outline and plan for document on AOSEM evaluation framework An evaluation framework for AOSEM Context Diverse scope of application of methodologies Several aspects: analysis, design, implementation, deployment, validation, verification, etc. Several application domains: from closed systems to open systems, web support, etc. Tool support Tools for modelling and code generation Some methodologies have no tool support at all (or in a very experimental state) Development process not always defined Different notations Different agent concepts Standardization efforts Several approaches for integration: A common standard agent specification language: which one? Fragments: method engineering An evaluation framework for AOSEM Evaluation of AOSEM can help towards the success of AOSE Clarification of concepts = towards some standardization Integration of fragments Definition of AOSE processes: heavy to light approaches Promotion of tools Inputs for AOSEM evaluation A.
