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...
