“…An example of these proposals is Tropos [8], an agent-oriented software development methodology. The contribution of Tropos at the requirements stage and in agent-oriented design has been acknowledged by different comparative studies [21][22][23]. Also relevant is URN [24], an i* variation which has been added as part of the industrial Telecommunications Standard Z.151 [25] for systems specification.…”

Goal-oriented and agent-oriented modelling provides an effective approach to the understanding of distributed information systems that need to operate in open, heterogeneous and evolving environments. Frameworks, firstly introduced more than ten years ago, have been extended along language variants, analysis methods and CASE tools, posing language semantics and tool interoperability issues. Among them, the i* framework is one the most widespread. We focus on i*-based modelling languages and tools and on the problem of supporting model exchange between them. In this paper, we introduce the i* interoperability problem and derive an XML interchange format, called iStarML, as a practical solution to this problem. We first discuss the main requirements for its definition, then we characterise the core concepts of i* and we detail the tags and options of the interchange format. We complete the presentation of iStarML showing some possible applications. Finally, a survey on the i* community perception about iStarML is included for assessment purposes.

“…The agent-oriented approach is gaining acceptability in supporting maintainers in automating their daily activities (Dam and Winikoff, 2003;Viscaino et al, 2003;Rodriquez et al, 2004b). Intelligent software agent is a computer system capable of flexible autonomous action in some environments.…”

“…These notable efforts basically provide a top-down and iterative approach for the modeling and the development of agent-based systems. Although, from the software development life-cycle point of view, such methodologies fully cover the requirements, architectural design and detailed design, the implementation phase is not well supported [6]. In fact, the design models are hard to map to different target agent platforms since a seamless translation process is usually not provided.…”

Abstract. In this paper, an integrated approach for the modeling and the validation through simulation of multi-agent systems is proposed. The approach centers on the instantiation of a software development process which specifically includes a simulation phase which makes it possible the validation of a multiagent system before its actual deployment and execution. The approach uses the Gaia methodology for the analysis and the design, the Agent UML and the Distilled StateCharts for the detailed design, the MAO Framework for the neutral-platform implementation of software agents, and a Java-based discreteevent simulation framework for the simulation. The proposed approach is exemplified by defining and simulating a multi-agent system concerning with an agent-mediated consumer-driven e-Marketplace which offers mobile agentbased services for searching and buying goods.
