To deal with the flexible architectures and evolving
functionalities of complex modern systems, the agent metaphor and
agent-based computing are often the most appropriate software
design approach. As a result, a broad range of special-purpose
design processes has been developed in the last several years to
tackle the challenges of these specific application domains. In
this context, in early 2012 the IEEE-FIPA Design Process
Documentation Template SC0097B was defined, which facilitates the
representation of design processes and method fragments through the
use of standardized templates, thus supporting the creation of
easily sharable repositories and facilitating the composition of
new design processes.
Following this standardization approach, this book gathers the
documentations of some of the best-known agent-oriented design
processes. After an introductory section, describing the goal of
the book and the existing IEEE FIPA standard for design process
documentation, thirteen processes (including the widely known Open
UP, the de facto standard in object-oriented software engineering)
are documented by their original creators or other well-known
scientists working in the field. As a result, this is the first
work to adopt a standard, unified descriptive approach for
documenting different processes, making it much easier to study the
individual processes, to rigorously compare them, and to apply them
in industrial projects.While there are a few books on the market
describing the individual agent-oriented design processes, none of
them presents all the processes, let alone in the same format. With
this handbook, for the first time, researchers as well as
professional software developers looking for an overview as well as
for detailed and standardized descriptions of design processes will
find a comprehensive presentation of the most important
agent-oriented design processes, which will be an invaluable
resource when developing solutions in various application
areas.
