摘要：This paper carries out a comparative analysis to determine the
advantages and the stages of two agent-based methodologies: Multi-agent Systems
Engineering (MaSE) methodology, which is designed specifically for an agent-based
and complete lifecycle approach, while also being appropriate for understanding and
developing complex open systems; Agent Systems Methodology (ASEME) suggests a
modular Multi-Agent System (MAS) development approach and uses the concept of
intra-agent control. We also examine the strengths and weaknesses of these
methodologies and the dependencies between their models and their processes. Both
methodologies are applied to develop The Guardian Angle: Patient-Centered Health
Information System (GA: PCHIS), which is an example of agent-based applications
used to improve health care information systems.
