“…These quality attributes are referred to using a variety of terms including: non-functional requirements, constraints, quality attributes, quality goals, or quality of service requirements (Gross, 2005;Kirikova et al, 2002;Reekie & McAdam, 2006;Sommerville, 2007;van Lamsweerde & Letier, 2003). However, goal models are often perceived as useful only at the early stages of requirements analysis to arrive at a shared understanding between stakeholders (Guizzardi & Perini, 2005;Jureta & Faulkner, 2007). Following this they are usually discarded and the quality goals deprioritised.…”

The authors promote agent-oriented models to identify, represent and evaluate high-level abstractions of digital media design projects. A major aspect is the introduction of emotional goals, in addition to functional goals and quality goals to describe feelings such as having fun, being engaged and feeling cared for. To establish emotional goals, digital media design methods and processes were employed including the development of emotional scripts, user profiles, mood boards and following an iterative participatory design process. This approach proved to be highly successful, not only to represent emotional goals such as fun, tension and empathy, but also to facilitate the ideation, creation and progressive evaluation of projects. The process supports communication between designers, developers and other stakeholders in large multidisciplinary development teams by providing a shared language and common artefact. The process is demonstrated in the development of a Multiplayer Online Role Play Game (MORPG) called Aspergion that promotes respect for people with Asperger's Syndrome.

Abstract. The agent-oriented software engineering methodology Tropos offers a structured development process and supporting tools for developing complex, distributed systems. The objective of this paper is twofold: first, to illustrate the use of Tropos to develop a Multi-Agent System, performing basic analysis and design activities, code generation and testing, with the support of a set of tools; second, to enable the comparison with other, tool-supported, agent-oriented software engineering methodologies through a description of the main steps of these activities and of excerpts of the resulting artefacts, with reference to a common case study, namely, the Conference Management System case study.

Substantiating Agent-Based Quality Goals for Understanding Socio-Technical Systems

In this paper we propose a method for using ethnographic field data to substantiate agent-based models for socially-oriented systems. We use the agent paradigm because the ability to represent organisations, individuals, and interactions is ideal for modelling sociotechnical systems. We present the results of in-situ use of a domestic application created to encourage engagement between grandparents and grandchildren separated by distance. In such domains, it is essential to consider abstract and complex quality requirements such as showing presence and sharing fun. The success of such domestic technologies is based on the meaningful realization of these difficult-to-define quality goals. Our method addresses the need to adequately inform these quality goals with field data. We substantiate the quality goals with field data collected by introducing an application into the home of three families. The field data adds an understanding of what sharing fun means when "filled" with concrete activities. The quality goals served as a template to explore and represent the rich field data, while the field data helped to formulate the requirements for a more complex and refined technology. This paper's contribution is twofold. First, we extend the understanding of agentoriented concepts by applying them to household interactions. Second, we make a methodological contribution by establishing a new method for informing quality goals with field data.
