Abstract
Numerous methodologies for developing agent-based systems have been
proposed in the literature. However, their application is still limited
due to their lack of maturity. Evaluating methodologies’ strengths
and weaknesses plays an important role in improving them and in developing
the “next-generation� of methodologies. This paper presents a comparison
of three prominent agent-oriented methodologies: MaSE , Prometheus
and Tropos . It is performed based upon an attribute-based framework
which addresses four major areas: concepts , modelling language ,
process and pragmatics . The objectivity of the comparison is increased
by including inputs from the authors of the methodologies using a
questionnaire and by conducting an experimental evaluation of the
methodologies.
