Abstract

With the growing interest in the use of agent-oriented methodologies for software development, there is a need to identify influences and commonalities as a basis for advancing the state-of-the-art in AO methodologies. Here we advocate the use of a method engineering approach, underpinned by metamodelling as a means to achieve flexible support for many different kinds of project and agent systems. Using the OPEN Process Framework as an exemplar, we demonstrate the value of this approach, concluding with recommendations for future collaborative work.
