Tropos: An Agent-Oriented Software Development Methodology
Paolo Bresciani, Paolo Giorgini, Fausto Giunchiglia, John Mylopoulos, Anna Perini
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems 8(3), pages 203–236
2004
Our goal in this paper is to introduce and motivate a methodology, called Tropos,1 for building agent oriented software systems. Tropos is based on two key ideas. First, the notion of agent and all related mentalistic notions (for instance goals and plans) are used in all phases of software development, from early analysis down to the actual implementation. Second, Tropos covers also the very early phases of requirements analysis, thus allowing for a deeper understanding of the environment where the software must operate, and of the kind of interactions that should occur between software and human agents. The methodology is illustrated with the help of a case study. The Tropos language for conceptual modeling is formalized in a metamodel described with a set of UML class diagrams.
