Analysing the Behaviour of Software Agent through a Set of Measures of Agent Oriented Metrics

An Agent Oriented Software Engineering is a new programming paradigm that has evolved itself from Object Oriented Software Engineering. AOSE has placed greater emphasis on agent characteristics such as social ability, autonomy, pro-activity, reactivity, adaptability and intelligence, which are altogether new to the previous paradigms. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the quality of the agent by applying various agent oriented metrics. However, the behaviour of agent may change for same input in different cases and thus it is always difficult to evaluate the quality of an agent. The study incorporates the calculation of measures and normalization of values on some programs [15].
