Abstract

In this paper we will describe our approach, based on Graph Rewriting (GR), to support the visual modeling process in Tropos, an Agent Oriented software engineering methodology. We will give examples of the rewriting rules which specify the syntax of Tropos and will discuss how this graph rewriting rule-set can support an analyst in building correct models (that is models consistent with the Tropos language). Moreover we will consider how GR permits to adopt modeling language variants in a flexible way and to support an incremental modeling process.
