Gaia is one of the first agent-oriented software engineering methodologies, which explicitly takes social concepts into account. Yet Gaia would neither suffice to adequately develop adaptive system in open environments nor describe role relation and hierarchy of organizational rule. On the other hand, a variety of models employed by different methodologies limit the progress of MAS, so it is necessary to develop a unified framework which includes the models adopted by different methodologies. FRAG is proposed as a systematic methodology, which is the extension of role models of Gaia on the relation among function, role, and agent, for developing adaptive systems in open environments. Having compared several methodologies, the ORRA process is proposed as a universal process in role-based methodology starting from the purpose of different models adopted in MAS methodology. The Conference Management Case study is introduced to exemplify ORRA’s process and to show the use and effectiveness of FRAG’s models in the development of MAS.
