'''Agent-Orientedoriented Softwaresoftware Engineeringengineering''' (AOSE) is a new software engineering [[paradigm]] that arose to apply best practice in the development of complex [[Multi-agent systems|Multi-Agent Systems]] (MAS) by focusing on the use of agents, and organizations (communities) of agents as the main abstractions. The field of [[Product Family Engineering|Software Product Line]]s (SPL) covers all the [[software]] development lifecycle necessary to develop a family of products where the derivation of concrete products is made systematically and rapidly.
