Résumé :
Adopting Requirements Engineering (RE) techniques based on the fundamental notions of the agent-oriented programming paradigm, i.e. Agent, Goal, and Intentional Dependency, is recognized as a crucial step towards a more homogeneous and natural software engineering process for complex systems, like the Multi Agent Systems.From one side, the availability of simple representational tools is a key factor to guarantee stakeholders active involvement during RE, and therefore the success of such techniques, specially when complex socio-technical environments and stakeholders not expert in RE techniques are involved. From another side, simplicity may impose limits on the expressiveness of the graphical language, thus constraining the analysis process and reducing its flexibility and efficiency.
