Abstract

The agent-oriented (AO) methodology is an effective means for constructing complex systems. Despite a great deal of research, a number of challenges still exist before making agent-based computing a widely accepted paradigm in software engineering practice. In order to solve the problem of "a variety in number, difficult to use", the paper presents a hierarchical development architecture (HDA) for customizing a new AO methodology according to the given project. Based on the HDA, the developer can extract meta models from existing AO methods to assemble a new approach, much like developers building applications from third party off-the-shelf components. To exemplify its feasibility and effectiveness, the construction of C4I system is presented as a case study.
