Abstract

A great number of methodologies to develop multi-agent systems (MAS) have been proposed in the last few years. But a unique methodology cannot be general enough to be useful for everyone without some level of customization. According to our knowledge, existent agent-based surveillance systems have been developed ad-hoc and no methodology has been followed. We are interested in creating tools that allow to model and to generate monitoring environments. This has motivated the selection of Prometheus and INGENIAS methodologies, to take advantage of both approaches in developing agent-based applications. In this paper a collection of equivalences between the concepts used in both methodologies is described extensively.
