Abstract- This paper proposes a new technique in the
domain of Agent oriented software engineering. Agents
work in autonomous environments and can respond to
agent triggers. Agents can be very useful in requirement
analysis phase of software development process, where
they can react towards the requirement triggers and
result in aligned notations to identify the best possible
design solution from existing designs. Agent helps in
design generation process, which includes the use of
Artificial intelligence. The results produced clearly
shows the improvements over the conventional
reusability principles and ideas.
1. INTRODUCTION
Agent oriented software engineering is a new
emerging technique which is growing very
rapidly. Software development industries have
invested huge efforts in this domain and results
published by many of them are very exiting [1].
The autonomous and reactive nature of agents
makes it possible for the designers to visualize
in terms of real life problem solving scenarios
where socio-logical [2] characteristics of agents
automatically activate the timely checks for any
problem in domain and to solve the same using
agents.
Agents are very helpful in the software
development life cycle. Experiments carried out
in past have shown [2][9][10] the improvement
in the SDLC and conclusion is that agents can be
very helpful in cost and effort minimization; if
tuned properly. Fine-tuning of agents and SDLC
process-state-plug-in for two-way
communications results in agent based software
development process where intelligent agents
will take decisions for better time and resource
utilization.
Fine-tuning of agents and SDLC process-state-
plug-in for two-way communications results in
agent based software development process
where intelligent agents will take decisions for
better time and resource utilization. Agents are
capable of storing historic data, which helps in
decision-making using heuristic based approach.
This paper discusses the details of one such
experiment conducted to improve the
requirement analysis process with the help of
proactive agents. Agents automatically sense the
requirement environment and propose their own
set of important requirement checklist. This is
sort of intelligent assistance with domain
heuristic, which leads to cover all possible
requirement entities of the problem domain.

This document presents a multi-agent approach for selecting commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components. It proposes a semi-automated model called ABCS that uses multiple agents to identify suitable candidate components based on requirements. The agents each handle sub-tasks like matching requirements, evaluating security, cost-benefit analysis, and integration testing. They coordinate to produce a weighted list of candidates from which experts can select the most suitable component. The model aims to reduce the time and improve the knowledge involved in COTS component selection.
The objective of this paper is to provide an insight preview into various

QUALITY-AWARE APPROACH FOR ENGINEERING SELF-ADAPTIVE SOFTWARE SYSTEMScscpconf
Self-adaptivity allows software systems to autonomously adjust their behavior during run-time to reduce
the cost complexities caused by manual maintenance. In this paper, an approach for building an external
adaptation engine for self-adaptive software systems is proposed. In order to improve the quality of selfadaptive
software systems, this research addresses two challenges in self-adaptive software systems. The
first challenge is managing the complexity of the adaptation space efficiently and the second is handling the
run-time uncertainty that hinders the adaptation process. This research utilizes Case-based Reasoning as
an adaptation engine along with utility functions for realizing the managed system’s requirements and
handling uncertainty.
This document discusses and compares several agent-assisted methodologies for developing multi-agent systems:
- It reviews Gaia, HLIM, PASSI, and Tropos methodologies, outlining their key models and phases. Gaia focuses on analysis and design, HLIM models internal and external agent behavior, and PASSI and Tropos incorporate UML modeling.
- It then proposes a new MAB methodology intended to address shortcomings of existing approaches. MAB includes requirements, analysis, design, and implementation phases and models such as use case maps and agent roles.

Paper 25 agent-oriented_software_testing_role_oriented_approachFraz Awan
This document proposes a role-oriented approach to testing agent-oriented software. It begins by discussing limitations in existing agent-oriented software engineering methodologies, noting that most do not adequately address the testing phase. It then introduces the concept of roles as an important attribute of agents. The proposed approach uses a V-model framework with testing occurring on the right side to mirror development activities on the left. Testing is focused on roles and responsibilities, beginning with unit testing of individual agent responsibilities, then integration testing of agent interactions, and finally system-level testing. A role schema is presented as a way to define roles, associated agents, goals, protocols, permissions and responsibilities to support the role-oriented testing approach.

Design patterns for self adaptive systemsijseajournal
Self adaptation has been proposed to overcome the complexity of today's software systems which results
from the uncertainty issue. Aspects of uncertainty include changing systems goals, changing resource
availability and dynamic operating conditions. Feedback control loops have been recognized as vital
elements for engineering self-adaptive systems. However, despite their importance, there is still a lack of
systematic way of the design of the interactions between the different components comprising one
particular feedback control loop as well as the interactions between components from different control
loops . Most existing approaches are either domain specific or too abstract to be useful. In addition, the
issue of multiple control loops is often neglected and consequently self adaptive systems are often designed
around a single loop. In this paper we propose a set of design patterns for modeling and designing self
adaptive software systems based on MAPE-K. Control loop of IBM architecture blueprint which takes into
account the multiple control loops issue. A case study is presented to illustrate the applicability of the
proposed design patterns.
AN IMPROVED REPOSITORY STRUCTURE TO IDENTIFY, SELECT AND INTEGRATE COMPONENTS...ijseajournal
An ultimate goal of software development is to build high quality products. The customers of software
industry always demand for high-quality products quickly and cost effectively. The component-based
development (CBD) is the most suitable methodology for the software companies to meet the demands of
target market. To opt CBD, the software development teams have to customize generic components that are
available in the market and it is very difficult for the development teams to choose the suitable components
from the millions of third party and commercial off the shelf (COTS) components. On the other hand, the
development of in-house repository is tedious and time consuming. In this paper, we propose an easy and
understandable repository structure to provide helpful information about stored components like how to
identify, select, retrieve and integrate components. The proposed repository will also provide previous
assessments of developers and end-users about the selected component. The proposed repository will help
the software companies by reducing the customization effort, improving the quality of developed software
and preventing integrating unfamiliar components.
An Extensible Web Mining Framework for Real KnowledgeIJEACS
With the emergence of Web 2.0 applications that bestow rich user experience and convenience without time and geographical restrictions, web usage logs became a goldmine to researchers across the globe. User behavior analysis in different domains based on web logs has its utility for enterprises to have strategic decision making. Business growth of enterprises depends on customer-centric approaches that need to know the knowledge of customer behavior to succeed. The rationale behind this is that customers have alternatives and there is intense competition. Therefore business community needs business intelligence to have expert decisions besides focusing customer relationship management. Many researchers contributed towards this end. However, the need for a comprehensive framework that caters to the needs of businesses to ascertain real needs of web users. This paper presents a framework named eXtensible Web Usage Mining Framework (XWUMF) for discovering actionable knowledge from web log data. The framework employs a hybrid approach that exploits fuzzy clustering methods and methods for user behavior analysis. Moreover the framework is extensible as it can accommodate new algorithms for fuzzy clustering and user behavior analysis. We proposed an algorithm known as Sequential Web Usage Miner (SWUM) for efficient mining of web usage patterns from different data sets. We built a prototype application to validate our framework. Our empirical results revealed that the framework helps in discovering actionable knowledge.

Analysis of Agile and Multi-Agent Based Process Scheduling Modelirjes
As an answer of long growing frustration of waterfall Software development life cycle concepts,
agile software development concept was evolved in 90’s. The most popular agile methodologies is the Extreme
Programming (XP). Most software companies nowadays aim to produce efficient, flexible and valuable
Software in short time period with minimal costs, and within unstable, changing environments. This complex
problem can be modeled as a multi-agent based system, where agents negotiate resources. Agents can be used to
represent projects and resources. Crucial for the multi-agent based system in project scheduling model, is the
availability of an effective algorithm for prioritizing and scheduling of task. To evaluate the models, simulations
were carried out with real life and several generated data sets. The developed model (Multi-agent based System)
provides an optimized and flexible agile process scheduling and reduces overheads in the software process as it
responds quickly to changing requirements without excessive work in project scheduling.

A Software Measurement Using Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Mac...ijseajournal
Today, Software measurement are based on various techniques such that neural network, Genetic
algorithm, Fuzzy Logic etc. This study involves the efficiency of applying support vector machine using
Gaussian Radial Basis kernel function to software measurement problem to increase the performance and
accuracy. Support vector machines (SVM) are innovative approach to constructing learning machines that
Minimize generalization error. There is a close relationship between SVMs and the Radial Basis Function
(RBF) classifiers. Both have found numerous applications such as in optical character recognition, object
detection, face verification, text categorization, and so on. The result demonstrated that the accuracy and
generalization performance of SVM Gaussian Radial Basis kernel function is better than RBFN. We also
examine and summarize the several superior points of the SVM compared with RBFN.
Load Distribution Composite Design Pattern for Genetic Algorithm-Based Autono...ijsc
The document describes a load distribution composite design pattern for genetic algorithm-based autonomic computing systems. The pattern distributes the population generated by a genetic algorithm server across multiple clients to reduce the server's load. It uses case-based reasoning, database access, and master-slave design patterns. The client evaluates portions of the population and stores results in a database. This allows the genetic algorithm to scale effectively to large problem sizes by distributing the computation workload.
LOAD DISTRIBUTION COMPOSITE DESIGN PATTERN FOR GENETIC ALGORITHM-BASED AUTONO...ijsc
Current autonomic computing systems are ad hoc solutions that are designed and implemented from the
scratch. When designing software, in most cases two or more patterns are to be composed to solve a bigger
problem. A composite design patterns shows a synergy that makes the composition more than just the sum
of its parts which leads to ready-made software architectures. As far as we know, there are no studies on
composition of design patterns for autonomic computing domain. In this paper we propose pattern-oriented
software architecture for self-optimization in autonomic computing system using design patterns
composition and multi objective evolutionary algorithms that software designers and/or programmers can
exploit to drive their work. Main objective of the system is to reduce the load in the server by distributing
the population to clients. We used Case Based Reasoning, Database Access, and Master Slave design
patterns. We evaluate the effectiveness of our architecture with and without design patterns compositions.
The use of composite design patterns in the architecture and quantitative measurements are presented. A
simple UML class diagram is used to describe the architecture.
Ijartes v2-i1-001Evaluation of Changeability Indicator in Component Based Sof...IJARTES
The maintaining of software system is a major
cost concern. The maintaining of a software system depends
on how the changes made to it. The maintainability of a system
depending on the folw of software, its design pattern and
CBSS. In Maintainability phase of a sotware system there are
4 parts, like analyzing, testing, stability, and changes made to
it. In some side areas, these systems emerged very rapidly.
There are many companies which purchase software instead
of developing it .These companies do not have any interst in
the testing of the system but wants to like smoothness in the
flow of the system during changes.
Changeability is one of the characteristics of maintainability.
Software changeability is associated with refactoring which
makes code simpler and easier to maintain (enable all
programmers to improve their code).Factors that affect
changeability include coupling between the modules, lack of
code comments, naming of functions and variables.
Basically,”changeabilty” is the ability of a product or software
to be able to change the structure of the program. It is the rate
the product allows the modification to its components.
In this paper changeability based cost estimation is done.
Initially we take four components; these components are
evaluated based on the coupling, cohesion and Interface
metrix. Next some changes are made to the existing
components and than again these components are evaluated.
Now, on the basis of these two evaluations some conclusion is
made for changeability cost.
Conceptualization of a Domain Specific Simulator for Requirements Prioritizationresearchinventy
This paper conceptualizes a domain specific simulator for requirements prioritization; its aims at helping to identify appropriate prioritization strategies for a project in hand. The possible existing scenarios are difficult to analyze; they involve different variables, like the selection of: stakeholders (their availability, expertise, and importance); prioritization criteria; and prioritization methods. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed simulator elements, a well established general purpose simulator, called Arena, was used. The results demonstrate that, it is possible to build the suggested scenarios in order to study and make inferences about the prioritization strategies.

available in the market and it is very difficult for the development teams to choose the suitable components
from the millions of third party and commercial off the shelf (COTS) components. On the other hand, the
development of in-house repository is tedious and time consuming. In this paper, we propose an easy and
understandable repository structure to provide helpful information about stored components like how to
identify, select, retrieve and integrate components. The proposed repository will also provide previous
assessments of developers and end-users about the selected component. The proposed repository will help
the software companies by reducing the customization effort, improving the quality of developed software
and preventing integrating unfamiliar components.
An Extensible Web Mining Framework for Real KnowledgeIJEACS
With the emergence of Web 2.0 applications that bestow rich user experience and convenience without time and geographical restrictions, web usage logs became a goldmine to researchers across the globe. User behavior analysis in different domains based on web logs has its utility for enterprises to have strategic decision making. Business growth of enterprises depends on customer-centric approaches that need to know the knowledge of customer behavior to succeed. The rationale behind this is that customers have alternatives and there is intense competition. Therefore business community needs business intelligence to have expert decisions besides focusing customer relationship management. Many researchers contributed towards this end. However, the need for a comprehensive framework that caters to the needs of businesses to ascertain real needs of web users. This paper presents a framework named eXtensible Web Usage Mining Framework (XWUMF) for discovering actionable knowledge from web log data. The framework employs a hybrid approach that exploits fuzzy clustering methods and methods for user behavior analysis. Moreover the framework is extensible as it can accommodate new algorithms for fuzzy clustering and user behavior analysis. We proposed an algorithm known as Sequential Web Usage Miner (SWUM) for efficient mining of web usage patterns from different data sets. We built a prototype application to validate our framework. Our empirical results revealed that the framework helps in discovering actionable knowledge.

The document discusses various techniques for evaluating the performance of parallel computing systems, including experimental measurement, theoretical/analytical modeling, and simulation. It notes that each technique has pros and cons. The document proposes developing an integrated model that combines the advantages of all three techniques. It also discusses issues in selecting appropriate metrics for evaluating parallel systems performance, such as execution time, speedup, and generalized speedup. The goal is to develop a model that can accurately evaluate performance in a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective manner.
Comparison of Dynamic Scheduling Techniques in Flexible Manufacturing SystemIJERA Editor
Scheduling is an important tool in the manufacturing area since productivity is inherently linked to how well the resources are used to increase efficiency and reduce waste. The present article analyzes and provides comparison of modern techniques used for solving dynamic scheduling problem in flexible manufacturing system. These techniques are often impractical in dynamic real world environments where there are complex constraints and a variety of unexpected disruptions. This paper defines the modern techniques of dynamic scheduling and provides a literature survey of scheduling which are presented in recent few years. The principles of several dynamic scheduling techniques, namely dispatching rules, heuristics, genetic algorithms and artificial intelligence techniques are describe in details and comparison of their potential.
Analysis of Agile and Multi-Agent Based Process Scheduling Modelirjes
As an answer of long growing frustration of waterfall Software development life cycle concepts,
agile software development concept was evolved in 90’s. The most popular agile methodologies is the Extreme
Programming (XP). Most software companies nowadays aim to produce efficient, flexible and valuable
Software in short time period with minimal costs, and within unstable, changing environments. This complex
problem can be modeled as a multi-agent based system, where agents negotiate resources. Agents can be used to
represent projects and resources. Crucial for the multi-agent based system in project scheduling model, is the
availability of an effective algorithm for prioritizing and scheduling of task. To evaluate the models, simulations
were carried out with real life and several generated data sets. The developed model (Multi-agent based System)
provides an optimized and flexible agile process scheduling and reduces overheads in the software process as it
responds quickly to changing requirements without excessive work in project scheduling.

Use case and sequence diagrams model adding a conference. The domain model depicts the structure of conferences, users, submissions and other entities. Overall an iterative development approach is proposed using a three-tier architecture to separate the user interface, business logic and data layers.
A Software Measurement Using Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Mac...ijseajournal
Today, Software measurement are based on various techniques such that neural network, Genetic
algorithm, Fuzzy Logic etc. This study involves the efficiency of applying support vector machine using
Gaussian Radial Basis kernel function to software measurement problem to increase the performance and
accuracy. Support vector machines (SVM) are innovative approach to constructing learning machines that
Minimize generalization error. There is a close relationship between SVMs and the Radial Basis Function
(RBF) classifiers. Both have found numerous applications such as in optical character recognition, object
detection, face verification, text categorization, and so on. The result demonstrated that the accuracy and
generalization performance of SVM Gaussian Radial Basis kernel function is better than RBFN. We also
examine and summarize the several superior points of the SVM compared with RBFN.
Load Distribution Composite Design Pattern for Genetic Algorithm-Based Autono...ijsc
The document describes a load distribution composite design pattern for genetic algorithm-based autonomic computing systems. The pattern distributes the population generated by a genetic algorithm server across multiple clients to reduce the server's load. It uses case-based reasoning, database access, and master-slave design patterns. The client evaluates portions of the population and stores results in a database. This allows the genetic algorithm to scale effectively to large problem sizes by distributing the computation workload.
LOAD DISTRIBUTION COMPOSITE DESIGN PATTERN FOR GENETIC ALGORITHM-BASED AUTONO...ijsc
Current autonomic computing systems are ad hoc solutions that are designed and implemented from the
scratch. When designing software, in most cases two or more patterns are to be composed to solve a bigger
problem. A composite design patterns shows a synergy that makes the composition more than just the sum
of its parts which leads to ready-made software architectures. As far as we know, there are no studies on
composition of design patterns for autonomic computing domain. In this paper we propose pattern-oriented
software architecture for self-optimization in autonomic computing system using design patterns
composition and multi objective evolutionary algorithms that software designers and/or programmers can
exploit to drive their work. Main objective of the system is to reduce the load in the server by distributing
the population to clients. We used Case Based Reasoning, Database Access, and Master Slave design
patterns. We evaluate the effectiveness of our architecture with and without design patterns compositions.
The use of composite design patterns in the architecture and quantitative measurements are presented. A
simple UML class diagram is used to describe the architecture.
Ijartes v2-i1-001Evaluation of Changeability Indicator in Component Based Sof...IJARTES
The maintaining of software system is a major
cost concern. The maintaining of a software system depends
on how the changes made to it. The maintainability of a system
depending on the folw of software, its design pattern and
CBSS. In Maintainability phase of a sotware system there are
4 parts, like analyzing, testing, stability, and changes made to
it. In some side areas, these systems emerged very rapidly.
There are many companies which purchase software instead
of developing it .These companies do not have any interst in
the testing of the system but wants to like smoothness in the
flow of the system during changes.
Changeability is one of the characteristics of maintainability.
Software changeability is associated with refactoring which
makes code simpler and easier to maintain (enable all
programmers to improve their code).Factors that affect
changeability include coupling between the modules, lack of
code comments, naming of functions and variables.
Basically,”changeabilty” is the ability of a product or software
to be able to change the structure of the program. It is the rate
the product allows the modification to its components.
In this paper changeability based cost estimation is done.
Initially we take four components; these components are
evaluated based on the coupling, cohesion and Interface
metrix. Next some changes are made to the existing
components and than again these components are evaluated.
Now, on the basis of these two evaluations some conclusion is
made for changeability cost.
Conceptualization of a Domain Specific Simulator for Requirements Prioritizationresearchinventy
This paper conceptualizes a domain specific simulator for requirements prioritization; its aims at helping to identify appropriate prioritization strategies for a project in hand. The possible existing scenarios are difficult to analyze; they involve different variables, like the selection of: stakeholders (their availability, expertise, and importance); prioritization criteria; and prioritization methods. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed simulator elements, a well established general purpose simulator, called Arena, was used. The results demonstrate that, it is possible to build the suggested scenarios in order to study and make inferences about the prioritization strategies.
Assessment Of Requirement Elicitation Tools And Techniques By Various ParametersKelly Lipiec
The document discusses requirement elicitation tools and techniques. It provides an overview of common requirement elicitation techniques such as interviews, surveys, questionnaires, domain analysis, and prototyping. It also summarizes and compares several popular requirement management tools, including RequisitePro, Objectiver, CaseComplete, RMTrak, Optimal Trace, DOORS, Analyst Pro, and GMARC. The comparison is based on parameters like glossary, templates, and traceability. The paper aims to help select effective tools and techniques for eliciting software requirements.
1) The document proposes using an assignment problem linear programming technique to quantify the technical performance of processes in system engineering. The assignment problem can optimize processes by finding minimum compilation time, execution time, and memory allocation.
2) An example assignment problem is described where jobs are assigned to programmers to minimize time. The technique is applied to quantify a software development process by measuring compilation time, execution time, memory usage, and output of sample programs.
3) The results show that programs developed by two of three programmers optimized the process, with minimum memory usage, execution speed and output values, as identified by the assignment problem modeling.

explain why government policymakers seem to prefer applied research
describe how basic research reflects liberal democratic values
Over fifty years ago, Vannevar Bush released his enormously influential report, Science, the Endless Frontier, which asserted a dichotomy between basic and applied science. This view was at the core of the compact between government and science that led to the golden age of scientific research after World War II—a compact that is currently under severe stress. In this book, Donald Stokes challenges Bush’s view and maintains that we can only rebuild the relationship between government and the scientific community when we understand what is wrong with that view.
Stokes begins with an analysis of the goals of understanding and use in scientific research. He recasts the widely accepted view of the tension between understanding and use, citing as a model case the fundamental yet use-inspired studies by which Louis Pasteur laid the foundations of microbiology a century ago. Pasteur worked in the era of the “second industrial revolution,” when the relationship between basic science and technological change assumed its modern form. Over subsequent decades, technology has been increasingly science-based. But science has been increasingly technology-based–with the choice of problems and the conduct of research often inspired by societal needs. An example is the work of the quantum-effects physicists who are probing the phenomena revealed by the miniaturization of semiconductors from the time of the transistor’s discovery after World War II.
On this revised, interactive view of science and technology, Stokes builds a convincing case that by recognizing the importance of use-inspired basic research we can frame a new compact between science and government. His conclusions have major implications for both the scientific and policy communities and will be of great interest to those in the broader public who are troubled by the current role of basic science in American democracy.

Abstract- This paper proposes a new technique in the
domain of Agent oriented software engineering. Agents
work in autonomous environments and can respond to
agent triggers. Agents can be very useful in requirement
analysis phase of software development process, where
they can react towards the requirement triggers and
result in aligned notations to identify the best possible
design solution from existing designs. Agent helps in
design generation process, which includes the use of
Artificial intelligence. The results produced clearly
shows the improvements over the conventional
reusability principles and ideas.
1. INTRODUCTION
Agent oriented software engineering is a new
emerging technique which is growing very
rapidly. Software development industries have
invested huge efforts in this domain and results
2. published by many of them are very exiting [1].
The autonomous and reactive nature of agents
makes it possible for the designers to visualize
in terms of real life problem solving scenarios
where socio-logical [2] characteristics of agents
automatically activate the timely checks for any
problem in domain and to solve the same using
agents.
Agents are very helpful in the software
development life cycle. Experiments carried out
in past have shown [2][9][10] the improvement
in the SDLC and conclusion is that agents can be
very helpful in cost and effort minimization; if
tuned properly. Fine-tuning of agents and SDLC
process-state-plug-in for two-way
communications results in agent based software
development process where intelligent agents
will take decisions for better time and resource
utilization.
Fine-tuning of agents and SDLC process-state-
plug-in for two-way communications results in
agent based software development process
where intelligent agents will take decisions for
better time and resource utilization. Agents are
capable of storing historic data, which helps in
decision-making using heuristic based approach.
This paper discusses the details of one such
experiment conducted to improve the
requirement analysis process with the help of
proactive agents. Agents automatically sense the
3. requirement environment and propose their own
set of important requirement checklist. This is
sort of intelligent assistance with domain
heuristic, which leads to cover all possible
requirement entities of the problem domain.
2. RELATED WORK
Michael Wooldridge, Nicholas R. Jennings &
David Kinny describe the analysis process using
agent-oriented approach [1]. They have
considered the GAIA notations. The analysis
stages of Gaia are:
1) Identify the agent’s roles in the system, which
typically correspond to identify roles of
individuals, departments or organizations
themselves. The output of this will be a
prototypical roles model i.e. a list of the key

roles that occur in the system, each with an
informal, unelaborated description.
2) For each role, identify and document the
associated protocols. Protocols are the patterns
of interaction that occur in the system between
the various roles.
3) Using the protocol model as a basis, elaborate
the roles model. The output of this activity will
4. be fully elaborated roles model, which
documents the key roles occurring in the system,
their permissions and responsibilities, together
with the protocols and activities in which they
participate.
Software designers and researchers have been
experimenting [3][5][7] with flexible agent-
based architectures as the foundation for next
generation systems. However, the success of
these systems will depend on how well they fit
into the embedding technical, business, and
organizational environments, and on their
ongoing ability to respond to changes in these
environments. A critical piece of technology,
therefore, is the ability to model and analyze the
architecture of software-based systems in
relation to their complex, evolving
organizational and business environments. An
important component of the capability is the
systematic treatment of non-functional
requirements (such as maintainability,
reliability, performance, and other quality
issues) during design and their monitoring
during execution [8][13].
Requirement engineering resources proposed a
new technique of Self-adaptive software and
agent oriented paradigm. An Autonomic
Computing mechanism defines a set of desirable
attributes such as self-configuration, self-
optimization, self-healing and self-protection.
All this is possible because of a core property;
self-adaptivity, which has been defined as the
ability of software to use available information
about changes in its environment to improve its
5. behavior [2]. A new architecture (control-loop
based) has been proposed to realize self-adaptive
software. This architecture will make the system
enable to sense its execution environment and to
choose a behavior aiming at maximizing system
availability and reliability. The details have been
investigated that define how to design self-
adaptive software and to focus on specific
autonomic properties based on it. This refers to
the ability of predicting problems and taking
actions to prevent a possible failure. An agent-
oriented paradigm adopted for requirements
analysis and design, and Multi-agent systems
(MAS) technologies, which allow the developers
to implement the control-loop architecture and
to enhance it with knowledge representation and
reasoning techniques. The resulting framework
will provide the methods for specifying design
alternatives, borrowed from goal-oriented
methodologies, MAS techniques to execute
system specifications into a simulated
environment, in order to observe system
behavior and to support the dynamic refinement
of design artifacts using feedback from run-time
behavior; traceability between design and code
artifacts.
Jaime Simão Sichman, François Bousquet and
Paul Davidsson have proposed the new
prospects of requirement engineering with the
involvement of Agent based approach [3]. A
preliminary reference model for the
requirements specification of agent-based
simulation platforms has been proposed which
aid the identification of general principles to
6. develop platforms. This concept advances the
analysis and prospection of technical-operational
and high-level requirements. Agent based
simulation platform promote the identification of
shared requirements [14]. This approach
addresses the development of an integrated
work. A new reference model is defined and a
comparative analysis has been made resulting in
an unambiguous and schematic characterization
of computational systems for agent-based
simulation [13].
Chiung-Hui Leon Lee and Alan Liu proposed a
new method for Agent based system
requirement analysis. It has been defined that an
agent-based system is a complex software
system with functional and nonfunctional
constrain and designing and building such
system is a complex task [4]. The idea is to use a
goal-driven based use case method for agent-
based system requirements analysis. This
approach is used to extract system requirements
from user’s point of view. It works with related

use cases assigned to corresponding roles. The
defined use cases are extended with goals for
implicit requirements analysis in contrast to
7. role’s point of view. The role is treated as
internal actor to find more system specific use
cases [15][16]. After the system find system
specific use cases, the relationships between use
cases and goals are identified. These
relationships are satisfied, satisfiable, denied,
deniable, and independent. Those relationships
help find the relationship among roles.
Identifying these relationships assists the system
analyzer to analyze and optimized the
relationships among roles and this system will
contribute to a systematic approach for implicit
requirements analysis with efficiency
[18][19][20].
3. EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
Our experiment discusses the details of
experiment conducted to improve the
requirement analysis process with the help of
proactive agents. Agents automatically sense the
requirement, environment and propose their own
set of important checklist which will be a better
and enhance list for requirement analysis. This is
a type of intelligent assistance with domain
heuristic ranks, which leads to cover all
important requirement entities of the problem
domain.
Proactive agents with requirement ranking
mechanism give a shot in the arm for
requirement analysis modules [7]. The
requirement gathering layout design and
attributes can be continuously improved. The
key attributes, which are important to the
system, are rearranged by ranked based
8. mechanism on repetitive usages by the agents.
This experiment was carried out in a simulated
environment for the requirement analysis in the
field of hospitality services using active agents
that have the capability of identification of the
most important attributes. The requirement is
gathered for 45 different rounds. The same
experiment was carried out on an environment
with no sensors for requirement attribute
alignment. The results obtained from the two
requirement processes were compared and it was
found that agent based requirement analysis
technique gather more valuable attributes for the
project.

Conclusion
The experiment results show the usage and
advantage of proactive agents in requirement
analysis phase. The involvement of agents adds
30. ranks to the requirement attributes. Over the
time, the requirements, which are more critical
to the domain, will become more important and
will appear first during requirement gathering.
Configuration also allows checking that whether
the requirements having top rank are considered
during requirement or not. The overall user
experience and requirement analysis
completeness will be more enhanced. This gives
an overall productivity to the software
development process and hence minimizes the
overall cost.
