“…Based on our previous work [54,55,56,58], the study of the different approaches available in the literature [16,25,84,107], and the requirements for developing these systems (Sect. 3.2), we propose a set of questionnaires that guide the analysis and comparison of methodologies for developing normative open systems.…”

“…This section analyzes the characteristics that an agent methodology for analyzing and designing systems of this kind should have. This analysis is derived from our previous studies [54,56,58], related literature [12,31,34,40,75,86], and the study of case studies from different application domains [15,24,61,79,87,115].…”

“…In order to undertake a critical assessment for the proposed framework, an evaluation criterion has been prepared by customizing the criteria adopted in [31,32]. The evaluation measure we have used in this case is qualitative and is defined as "H" for highly supportive, "M" for medium or partially supportive, and "L" for less supportive.…”

Requirements engineering (RE) is a significant aspect of system development stages in generating reliable software (SW). Despite RE’s decisive impact on project success, SW systems still fail since there is a perplexity in sorting out requirements correctly. Researchers have tried several paradigms to deal with the specified challenges, such as agent-oriented RE (AORE), model-based RE, and service-oriented RE (SORE). By investigating the limitations of the independent use of these paradigms, this research sets an objective that proposes a framework which integrates the two paradigms (agent and service) on top of social media to enhance the SW RE processes. Thus, the research addresses challenges in gathering adequate requirements, detecting alignment between business requirements and SW products, prioritizing requirements, and recommending innovative ideas. The research has mainly adopted an empirical research methodology for SW engineering. Accordingly, two distinct expert groups have been formed based on their previous experience in AORE and SORE, respectively. The experts have been selected from enterprises and academic institutions, and they participated in our case study. After performing the necessary assessment based on specified criteria, those experts in the first group have reported that CASCRE (Collaboration of Agents and Services for Crowd-based Requirements Engineering) with a score of 93.7% is found to be better than that of AORE with a score of 88.7%. Moreover, experts in the second group have declared that CASCRE, with a score of 92.3%, is better than SORE, with a score of 83.7%. In both cases, improvements have been observed, which reveals that the synergy of the CASCRE features has a better impact on the RE process than utilizing individual approaches. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the applicability of CASCRE, feedback has been gathered from a focused crowd of local pharmaceuticals using a mini-prototype. Accordingly, 250 requirements related comments have been gathered from the discussion forum, and 1400 keywords were generated. Then, after performing a sentiment analysis using NLP algorithms, the result was demonstrated to experts. Therefore, 93% of gurus strongly agreed on the applicability of CASCRE in real projects.

“…In order to analyze and compare ANEMONA-S + Thomas with other approaches we have used a MAS evaluation framework called MASEV [27]. This framework allows analyzing and comparing methods and tools for developing MAS in terms of general requirements, offered method guidelines and the support for the integration of MAS and services.…”

Nowadays fully integrated enterprises are being replaced by business networks in which each participant provides others with specialized services. As a result, the Service Oriented Manufacturing Systems emerges. These systems are complex and hard to engineer. The main source of complexity is the number of different technologies, standards, functions, protocols, and execution environments that must be integrated in order to realize them. This paper proposes a framework and associated engineering approach for assisting the system developers of Service Oriented Manufacturing Systems. The approach combines Multi-agent system with Service Oriented Architectures for the development of intelligent automation control and execution of manufacturing systems.
