Abstract

Intelligent agents are the solution of current computing trends. With this new paradigm has emerged a large number of methodologies to develop multi-agent systems, e.g. are GAIA, Mase, TROPOS and INGENIAS. Each one has some advantages or disadvantages in the different phases of software development. Ingenias methodology is considered one of the most complete, but it does not have a capture requirement phase from a social point of view. The TROPOS methodology however, is a strong methodology in the capture requirements because it uses i*. In this paper, after analyzing the stages of requirements of both methodologies, a proposal is made for the incorporation of social modeling with i* in Ingenias, based on the analysis carried out by the TROPOS methodology.
