Our Software Engineering Methodologies

Whitestein Technologies has realized early that supporting developers through suitable methodologies is a key success factor to get autonomic computing and communications to work in corporate IT departments.

Consequently, the company has extended state-of-the-art methodologies with the specific elements needed to model and design agent-based, autonomic systems and applications:

• The Agent Modeling Language AML is an agent-specific extension to UML 2.0 designed to support business modeling, requirements specification analysis, and design of (multi) software agent systems
• GO-BPMN (Goal-Oriented Business Process Management Notation) is an extension of BPMN, and
• ADEM (Agent-oriented Development Methodology) can be used to tailor existing software engineering processes such as Rational Unified Process (RUP) or the Agile Unified Process by means of Situational Method Engineering.
