Methodology for analysis and design of systems

Abstract

In this article is presented a formal methodology to develop software solutions based on agents. The proposed methodology is based on Beliefs-Intentions agent architecture and uses the temporal logic alphabet and axioms to model the system. The methodology details explicitly the multiagent construction phases from the specification to the verification. Contributions of this article are: first, propose an analysis and design methodology, which use interaction as support for developing distributed complex application. Second, propose a formal object language in order to specify in a natural and comprehensive way the multiagent characteristics and properties, and also validate this specification.
