Introduction
The agent-oriented software engineering includes the incorporation of the various
punishments from software manufacturing to AI technology. The AOSE addresses the
growth of multifaceted schemes or process with the help of mediator paradigm. The
objective of this report is to discuss the process of agent-oriented software and evaluate
the types of agent methodologies. In which a journal paper will be explained with their
strengths and weaknesses and the title of this paper is "agent-oriented software
engineering" [6]. This report is divided into main four parts such as intention and
content of the paper, research methodologies, issues highlighted by the researcher and
results and discussion.
Intention and content of the journal paper
In this paper, the researcher provided the assessment of the agent-oriented practices
for the addition of additional software engineering techniques. According to the author,
the agent related process provides a platform to model complex, and dynamic system
and such kind of technique can be used in several applications [1]. The researcher also
explained the different activities and events of the processor life cycle, verification,
examination and authentication of multi-agents. It is very important to define the
procedures, techniques, and tools which facilitate the implementation and generation of
agent-based software in the time and quality assurance. The researcher also defined the
various types of methodologies and approaches for designing the multi-agent systems
and few of them are completely based on the current object-oriented techniques. It is
analysed that the agent-oriented process assumes to realize a large number of events
and tasks which are supported by numerous tools and techniques [2]. This journal
paper provided the few of the modern investigation lines in the sector of agent-oriented
software engineering [6].A recent investigation of this topic involved the evaluation of
the development and implementation of the process which is utilized by the analysed
techniques [7]. According to the researcher, the MAS technology has the potential to
test, verify and validate the developed AOSE models [3]. The main aim of this technique
is to help and understand the FIPA multi-agent processes with the help of debugging
and monitoring techniques. Researcher estimated that the utilization of the most
effective methodology will lead to better outcomes and increase the overall

performance of the system. This section provides an outline for the comparative
analysis of current agent-oriented software methodologies and few of the AOSE
techniques highlighted by the author in this journal article. In which the researcher
divided the evaluation part into the main five areas such as the development process,
model view, agent group, additional features, and documentation process. In the section
of the development process, the researcher evaluated the construction of the multi-
agent system [8]. Model view tries to discuss the techniques and charts proposed by the
AOSE methodologies and the part of the agent group defined how agent features and
characteristics are used in the agent-oriented software process [4]. The additional
features approach is used to deals with the other methodologies and techniques and the
documentation section is added to analysis the importance of the advanced agent-
oriented software methods and focused on the numerous available cases [5].
Research methodologies
The research methods and techniques involved numerous types of strategies that are
used by the author while conducting the investigation. The methods and techniques are
given for the design, approach and data collection process of the research and by using
these processes researcher enhanced the effectiveness of the investigation. The main
purpose of this research is to analyse the concept of agent-oriented software
methodologies and evaluation of the AOSE models. Various journals, survey, case
studies, and observation are used in this investigation to maintain the balance between
the research title and related information.
Research design
In this journal paper, a mixed methodology is used by the researcher which contains
both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. In the qualitative method, the
information is gathered from the literature review and other experts in order to
understand their views on agent-oriented software. A survey through questionnaire is
used to collect the quantitative data and this survey is transferred to the individuals
with the help of emails [9]. There are few case studies are also involved in this
investigation to achieve the objective of the research and observation or experimental
data is collected with the help of a survey. The questionnaire also provided the primary
