In most existing software agents methodologies, system analysis is dependent on an agent-oriented, object-oriented or knowledge-based design paradigm. This simplifies the complex transformation of the conceptual model produced during analysis into the physical model output at design time. We, like other authors, believe that the conceptual model has to be conceived as independent of the design paradigm and that the physical model should be driven by the solution, both models leading to very different conceptions of the problem. In this paper we present the SONIA agents development methodology that includes a transitional synthesis stage between analysis and architectural design that mends the break between the construction of the two models.
