Agent oriented software development is new research area in the field
of software engineering. It is a promising approach for developing
applications in complex domain. In recent years, multiple agent-oriented
methodologies were introduced. However, it is difficult to select
a methodology for a specific project, and their application is still
limited due to their lack of maturity and standardization. Comparing
some prominent agent-oriented methodologies and evaluating their
strengths and weakness plays an important role in improving them.
This paper presents a comparison and evaluation of three prominent
agent-oriented methodologies: MaSE, Gaia, and Tropos. It is perfomed
based upon a framework which addresses four major areas: concepts
and properties, modelling techniques, process, and pragmatics. The
results are discussed and presented.
