The task consists of identifying a set of agent types and assigning to each of
them the actor capabilities (one or more actor capability by agent
type).
In general, the agents assignment is not unique and depends on the designer. The number of agents and the capabilities
assigned to each of them are choices driven by the analysis of the extend actor diagram and by the way in which the
designer think the system in term of agents. Tropos offers a set of pre-defined patterns recurrent in multi-agent
literature that can help the designer (see
A goal-based organizational
perspective on multi-agents architectures
for more information).
