Abstract:

Agent-oriented (AO) methodologies vary in style and, particularly, in heritage and often with a specific focus (either in terms of domain, application style, or life-cycle coverage). For industry adoption it is essential that full life-cycle coverage is achieved in a "standardized" way. One way of achieving some degree of standardization yet maintaining full flexibility is through the application of situational method engineering to the creation of agent-oriented methodologies. With this approach, method fragments are created and stored in a repository. Whenever a methodology is needed, a subset of these is then selected from the repository and a project-specific (or sometimes organization-specific) AO methodology is constructed. Here, we demonstrate how this might work by using the OPEN Process Framework (OPF) approach.
