Developing a multi agent system model in GAIA for court case management system as a case study and providing an extension to GAIA

MAS Methodologies have evolved in the past decade with a growth curve that has segregated them into specific arena of their own expertise. Each methodology is applicable for a selected group of projects. These methodologies include Prometheus, MaSE, Tropos, Gaia and many more. Each comes with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, the authors are trying to provide an extension to the Gaia methodology which is outstanding in early requirements analysis and design. The only limitation comes when we need to share goals between agents. The goals are also not identified which poses problems in mapping them to Roles and Agents. As an extension to Gaia, the authors have modified the model of Gaia by introducing Goal Model by deriving goals from the organization and sub-organization and fitting them before mapping them onto the roles. The authors have taken the “Legal Semantic Web” as a case study.
