User and System Stories: an agile approach for managing requirements in AOSE

“…There are many agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) methodologies to help software engineers to conceptualise, design, and implement agent-based systems. MaSE [11], Tropos [4], INGE-NIAS [26], Gaia [35], PASSI [6], Prometheus [25], and TDF [16], are some of the most commonly used AOSE methodologies for developing agent-based systems. Although these methodologies differ in many ways, they follow the common software engineering core activities of: specification, design, implementation, and testing.…”

“…In current agent development methodologies such as TDF [16], Prometheus [25], Tropos [4], O-MaSE [11], INGENIAS [26], and ASPECS [10] the process of managing requirements from elicitation to implementation follows the more traditional way of developing software, rather than the more modern agile approaches.…”

“…Our approach is general and complementary to existing AOSE methodologies. For the purpose of illustrating our approach we use in this paper the TDF (Tactics Development Framework) agent design methodology [16] and the SARL agent implementation platform [29]. The choice of these tools are due to the fact that they are used for an industry project that necessitates this work.…”
