Software Agents: Process Models and User Profiles in Distributed Software Development

The development of software products has become a highly cooperative and distributed activity involving working groups at geographically distinct places. These groups show an increasing mobility and a very flexible organizational structure. Process methodology and technology have to take such evolutions into account. A possible direction for the emergence of new process technology and methodology is to take benefit from recent advances within multiagent systems engineering : innovative methodologies for adaptable and autonomous architectures; they exhibit interesting features to support distributed software processes. Keywords : software agents, process model , profiles.
