Resumo


This work describes the fragmentation of the agent-oriented method ADELFE following the approach defined by the Medee Framework. The fragmentation goal is to increase the population of the Medee Method Framework repository. The Medee method framework supports the development of multiagent systems based on the Situational Method Engineering approach. To achieve our goal, the paper briefly explains the Medee Method Repository structure and its associate process for fragmenting methods. Then, it's described how this process was applied to define ADELFE fragments.
