“…Some of the multi-agent leading methodologies attempt to integrate some techniques in their latest extensions like (Harmon et al, 2009) with O-MASE or (Blanes et al, 2009) with RE-GAIA. Inspired by goal-oriented requirements works (Mylopoulos et al, 1999;Liu and Yu, 2004), TROPOS (Bresciani et al, 2004) proposes to build an incrementally refined model of the system where NFR are seen as specific goals.…”

Today, embedded applications become large scale and strongly constrained. They require a decentralised embedded intelligence generating challenges for embedded systems. A multi-agent approach is well suited to model and design decentralised embedded applications. It is naturally able to take up some of these challenges. But some specific points have to be introduced, enforced or improved in multi-agent approaches to reach all features and all requirements. In this article, we present a study of specific activities that can complement multi-agent paradigm in the 'embedded' context. We use our experience with the DIAMOND method to introduce and illustrate these features and activities.Keywords: multi-agent systems; MAS; collective intelligence; embedded multi-agent systems; agent oriented analysis; agent design; collective cyber-physical systems; real world applications.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Jamont, J-P. and Occello, M.

“…However, in our approach, we applied SOFL to capture the precise requirements for the brain tumor treatment system. Scott et al [13] provided a framework for abstract quality requirements against potential multi-agent system designs, by generating policies that can be used to guide the system of the abstract quality constraints. These policies are generated offline, using model checking and automated trace analysis.…”

Software design is a critical step in the development process of software systems. Failure to produce correct design specification will result in the production of an unsatisfactory system. This failure is not because of the chosen method applied during the development process, but it is because of the system analyst fail to understand on how to achieve the precise requirements during requirements analysis process. This paper describes an approach to write abstract requirement specifications using SOFL. This approach requires two steps: informal and semi-formal steps. In order to describe on how this approach can be applied to capture requirements using SOFL easily, we use a case study of a brain tumor treatment system for construct an abstract requirements. This case study demonstrates the suitability of SOFL for developing safety-critical system and provides us with an insight into the knowledge of how SOFL approach can be effectively supported.
