RESUMO

Agent orientation has emerged as a new software development paradigm. Software developers are turning to agent-oriented concepts in order to understand, model, and develop software systems which operate within complex and distributed environments. Not surprisingly, the growth of interest in software agents has also led to the proposal of new methodologies based on agent concepts. The methodology studied on this work, Tropos, is one of these proposals and it is founded on agents concepts adopted from Requirements Engineering, such as those of actor, goal and actor dependency. Based on the study of Tropos this work focused on the study of its early and late requirements phases, which relies on i* modeling language. The i* framework provides a conceptual structure able to recognize motivations, intentions and reasoning about the characteristics over an environment (process). This facilitates the effort in the Requirements Engineering phases. The detailed study about i* leads us to a proposal of a tool (an Eclipse Plug-in) in order to provide a suitable supporting on the development of i* models as activities of the early and late requirements phases of Tropos. The goal of this work is to allow building of valid i* models according to a i* guide - i* Wiki, and to adopt a open source platform of development that can permit the collaborative development of the tool proposed. To develop the proposed tool - IStar Tool, the Graphical Modelling Framework (GMF) for the development of plug-in Eclipse is studied and adopted.
