Summary
This paper introduces a work in progress for definition of processes for AOSE methodologies. FIPA Methodology Technical Committee encourages the definition of software engineering process models for Multi-Agent Systems methodologies and recommends the use of Software Process Engineering metamodel (SPEM) defined by the Object Management Group. This paper follows those recommendations for obtaining a systematic method and an editor for describing software engineering process models for Multiagent Systems. The editor has been built by means of the Eclipse Modeling Framework and follows the SPEM standard. Several Agent Oriented processes have defined using the editor, in addition, the method for defining such processes is also addressed in this paper.
