Abstract
Multi-view architecture products describe the requirement connotation of complex information system explicitly and reflect the essence of problem domain. Agent organization gives a good idea in solving problem domain in course of its integrated and intelligent. This paper takes the DOD AF operational view products for example to combine with their merits. After the formalized expression of operational view products relating to organization abstract model, some mapping rules to mapping operational view products to organization abstract model were suggested. Then using the social network analysis method, a way of mapping organization abstract model to multi-agent software architecture style according to Pearson correlation coefficients was set up. In the end, an example was set up to validate the feasibility of this approach. This work can integrate the system requirements and multi-agent software architecture. It shortened the gap between system’s top-design and its implementation, at the same time, it improved the system adaptability.
