Abstract
This paper presents RE4Gaia, which is a requirements modeling approach for the development of multi-agent systems extending the Gaia methodology. The approach focus on dealing with the organizational structure as a means to adequately capturing and understanding required roles and associated functions, in the context of a organization, prior to the analysis and design of the MAS using Gaia. In addition, a traceability framework is introduced in order to facilitate moving from the requirements models to the analysis and design models proposed in Gaia.
