Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a methodology for context sensitive systems development. Based on a generic definition of context, the proposed methodology allows modeling of contexts for a specific system with different abstraction level. This methodology can be integrated in the classical engineering process. The application of this methodology for the development of an agent based simulator for social complex systems allows us to define a context model for social and cooperative multiagent systems.
