Paper Abstract:
|
During the last decades intelligent agents integrated in multi-agent systems are accepted as a suitable technology to
implement mechanisms of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), so facilitating ITS development. Still, no adequate
methodological support is available for agent based ITS development. Regardless of the fact that general agent-oriented
software engineering methodologies are the most suitable for this purpose, ITSs have specific characteristics that need to
be taken into consideration during the development process. Additionally, ITSs have their own field of research with
important knowledge gained, that is useful during the ITS development. The paper presents the specific ITS development
methodology named MASITS to support agent based ITS development. The methodology integrates results of ITS
research into the most appropriate techniques used in agent-oriented software engineering methodologies. The paper
presents also the corresponding tool for support of the methodology and gives a brief description of case study of the
methodology and the tool. |
