Software engineers continually strive to develop tools and techniques to manage the complexity that is inherent in software systems. In this article, we argue that intelligent agen...
We present the Hermes approach for goal-oriented interaction which includes a methodology for designing goal-based interactions and a process for mapping design artefacts to an ex...
Abstract. Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) methodologies are proposed to develop complex distributed systems based upon the agent paradigm. The natural implementation for...
Abstract. Complexity in software design refers to the difficulty in understanding and manipulating the set of concepts, models and techniques involved in the design process. Agents...
