Abstract: A Multi-Agent System (MAS) is an organization of coordinated autonomous agents that interact in order to achieve particular, possible common goals. Considering real world organizations as an analogy, this paper proposes architectural styles for MAS which adopt concepts from organizational theories. The styles are modeled using the i* framework which o#ers the notions of actor, goal and actor dependency and specified in Formal Tropos. They are evaluated with respect to a set of software quality... (Update)

...and their existence depends on the existence of the composite. We are working on the formalization of these styles in Formal Tropos [23]. 13 These organizational styles have been evaluated and compared using software quality attributes identified for architectures involving...
