Ontologies offer significant benefits to multi-agent systems: interoperability, reusability,
support for multi-agent system (MAS) development activities (such as system analysis and …

Most existing agent-oriented methodologies ignore system extensibility, interoperability and
reusability issues. In light of this, we have developed MOBMAS–a “Methodology for …

Most existing agent-oriented methodologies ignore system extensibility, interoperability and
reusability issues. Ontologies have been found to play a significant role in facilitating …

Considering the increasing demand of multi-agent systems, the practice of software reuse is
essential to the development of such systems. Multi-agent domain engineering is a process …

Ontologies provide an unambiguous terminology that can be shared by all involved in a
software development process. They can also be as generic as needed allowing its reuse …

This paper proposes a novel approach to generating an ontological perspective for software
system. This ontology is a combination of two other ontologies: domain ontology and class …

Support for software extensibility, interoperability and reuse are critical concerns for long
term commercial viability of any MAS and they underpin the eventual adoption of agent …

The description, localization and effective reuse of software patterns and systems of patterns
can be approached through an ontology-based formalism. An ontology is an explicit …

Ontologies play a crucial role in multiagent systems (MASs) development, especially for
domain knowledge modeling, interaction specifications, and behavioral aspect …

Goal models help elicit, specify, analyze, and validate requirements as they capture
hierarchical representations of system requirements, possible solutions, stakeholder …
