Validating requirements using gaia roles modelsValidating requirements using gaia roles models Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Publication 2015-11-142015enThis paper presents a method aimed to assist an engineer in transforming agent roles models to a process model. Thus, the software engineer can employ available tools to validate specific properties of the modeled system even before its final implementation. The method includes a tool for aiding the engineer in the transformation process. This tool uses a recursive algorithm for automating the transformation process and guides the user to dynamically integrate two or more agent roles in a process model with multiple pools. The tool usage is demonstrated through a running example, based on a real world project. Simulations of the defined agent roles can be used to a) validate the system requirements and b) determine how it could scale. This way, developers and managers can configure processes’ parameters and identify and resolve risks early in their project.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems Mitakidis Nektarios Μητακιδης Νεκταριος Delias Pavlos Δελιας Παυλος Spanoudakis Nikolaos I.
