The consequence is that organizations are very dependent on method designers' skills. In this paper, we propose an approach based on SME for constructing customized agent oriented design processes. Our approach adopts the metamodel as the most important factor leading to the selection and assembly of method fragments and an algorithm for establishing the instantiation order of metamodel elements. The algorithm makes the proposed approach repeatable and usable even by not very skilled personnel, thus proposing an improvement to the actual situation. The proposed approach and the algorithm are also experimented through the construction of a design process (ASPECS) for developing dynamic hierarchical societies of agents. The approach we created is general enough to be applied in other development contexts (not only agent-oriented). <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218194010004785","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,8]],"date-time":"2010-10-08T07:59:53Z","timestamp":1286524793000},"page":"575-608","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["THE METAMODEL: A STARTING POINT FOR DESIGN PROCESSES CONSTRUCTION"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"VALERIA","family":"SEIDITA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Palermo, Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MASSIMO","family":"COSSENTINO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto di Calcolo e Reti ad Alte Prestazioni, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Palermo, Italy"},{"name":"Systems and Transport Laboratory (SeT), Belfort, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"VINCENT","family":"HILAIRE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Systems and Transport Laboratory (SeT), Belfort, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"NICOLAS","family":"GAUD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Systems and Transport Laboratory (SeT), Belfort, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"STEPHANE","family":"GALLAND","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Systems and Transport Laboratory (SeT), Belfort, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ABDER","family":"KOUKAM","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Systems and Transport Laboratory (SeT), Belfort, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"SALVATORE","family":"GAGLIO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Palermo, Palermo, Italy"},{"name":"Istituto di Calcolo e Reti ad Alte Prestazioni, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0269888905000421"},{"key":"rf2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4018\/978-1-59140-581-8.ch007"},{"key":"rf3","volume":"37","author":"Brinkkemper S.","journal-title":"Information and Software Technology"},{"key":"rf4","first-page":"336","volume":"65","author":"Brinkkemper S.","journal-title":"International Federational for Information Processing"},{"key":"rf5","volume":"24","author":"Brinkkemper S.","journal-title":"Information Systems"},{"key":"rf7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-0-387-35080-6"},{"key":"rf8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/MS.2003.1231149"},{"key":"rf9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.engappai.2004.11.015"},{"key":"rf11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1504\/IJAOSE.2007.013266"},{"key":"rf16","first-page":"36","volume":"3","author":"Cossentino M.","journal-title":"Software Engineering for Large Multi-Agent Systems"},{"key":"rf17","first-page":"36","volume":"3","author":"Cossentino M.","journal-title":"Software Engineering for Large Multi-Agent Systems"},{"key":"rf18","volume-title":"The OPEN Process Framework: An Introduction","author":"Firesmith D.
