Abstract

Although there are many agent oriented methods, organizational and environmental system dimensions have not been analysed nor implemented as first class entities. Due to the evolution of development platforms, we are able to consider these dimensions in all the development phases. In this paper we present AEOlus method, that allows the integrated development of three systems dimensions: agent, environment and organization. This method was based on both Prometheus method and JaCaMo framework and aims to reduce the conceptual gap between the analysis and implementation phases.
