Abstract

In this work we extend a popular agent design methodology, Prometheus, and improve the understandability and maintainability of requirements by automatically generating UML activity diagrams from existing requirements models; namely scenarios and goal hierarchies. The approach is general to all the methodologies that support similar notions in specifying requirements.
