4 Last time The Prometheus agent-oriented software engineering methodology

5 Prometheus AOSE methodology developed at RMIT under the leadership of Lin Padgham:

6 The conceptual space

7 The Prometheus process Detailed design Architectural design System specification Scenarios Interaction diagrams Protocols Process actors Capability overview Analysis agent acquaintance System Agent agent grouping Event descriptors System goals actions, percepts messages shared data Data descriptions Initial Role descriptors Agent descriptors Capability descriptors Plan descriptors Key final design artefact intermediate design artefact input Code

8 Mapping Prometheus to viewpoint framework Viewpoint models Viewpoint aspect Abstraction layer Interaction Information Behavior Conceptual domain modeling Analysis Diagram, System Roles Diagram Goal Diagram, Initial Role Descriptors, Scenarios Platformindependent computational design Platform-specific design and implementation Agent Acquaintance Diagram, Interaction, Protocol, System Diagram Event Descriptors Knowledge Coupling Data Descriptors Agent Descriptors Agent, Process Specifications, Capability

9 Percepts and Actions Agents are situated therefore need to define the interface(s) with the environment

10 Conference management system A collection of papers presented over several days Academics and students interested in presenting at the conference submit papers for consideration The papers must be submitted by a given deadline The papers are distributed by a program chair to members of the PC PC members may delegate to reviewers The reviews are completed by an internal deadline Papers are selected based on the reviews The authors are notified and provided with comments from the reviews Final copies are collected for publications
