Composition of a New Process to Meet Agile Needs Using Method Engineering

The need of developing a new software engineering process (SEP) that could allow the quick prototyping of some robotic applications and meet the requests coming from some companies for a development process that was shorter than PASSI, gave us the opportunity of applying our studies on the assembling of a new SEP by reusing parts (called method fragments) from other processes. In this paper we discuss our approach that, starting from the method engineering paradigm, adapts and extends it considering specific agent-oriented issues like the multi-agent system metamodel. The final result of our experiment (Agile PASSI) is presented together with the requirements that motivated its structure.
