Abstract

With the emergence of agent-oriented software engineering techniques, software engineers have a new way of conceptualizing complex distributed software requirements. To help determine the most appropriate software engineering methodology, a set of defining criteria is required. In this paper, we describe out approach to determining these criteria, as well as a technique to assist software engineers with the selection of a software engineering methodology based on those criteria.
