ODAC: An Agent-Oriented Methodology Based on ODP

The ODAC methodology (Open Distributed Applications Construction) aims to provide a designer of agent-based systems with a set of methods and tools to allow him/her to control the construction process complexity of such systems. It enables software engineers to specify agent-based systems that will be implemented within an execution environment, for example a mobile agent platform. Our work is based on the Open Distributed Processing (ODP) standards and the agent paradigm.
