Moving existing legacy systems to cloud platforms is a difficult and high cost process that
may involve technical and non-technical resources and challenges. There is evidence that …

In some areas of software engineering research, there are several metamodels claiming to
capture the main issues. Though it is profitable to have variety at the beginning of a research …

Over the last several years, metamodels and ontologies have been developed in parallel
isolation. Ontological thinking, largely from the research field of artificial intelligence, has …

Disaster Management (DM) is a diffused area of knowledge. It has many complex features
interconnecting the physical and the social views of the world. Many international and …

Multi-agent systems have attracted the attention of researchers because of agents'
automatic, pro-active, and dynamic problem solving behaviors. Consequently, there has …

This paper describes the Organization-based Multiagent System Engineering (O-MaSE)
Process Framework, which helps process engineers define custom multiagent systems …

The method engineering paradigm enables designers to reuse portions of design processes
(called method fragments or chunks in literature) to build processes that are expressly …

Agent-based modeling (ABM) has become a useful tool in describing microcosmic action
mode of emergency management system (EMS). However, one of key challenges in multi …

This paper adopts a model-based security (MBS) approach to identify security requirements
during the early stages of multi-agent system development. Our adopted MBS approach is …

Disaster Management (DM) is a complex set of interrelated activities. The activities are often
knowledge-intensive and time sensitive. Timely sharing of the required knowledge is critical …
