....methodologies have been proposed for the agents paradigm [3] some of which began to conceive MAS as artificial organisations. Most of these modelling techniques define an organisation as a collection of roles (i.e. role model) 4] and a set of interaction protocols that occur between these roles [5], although they do not provide higher level organisational abstractions, like jobs, organisational structures, norms, social laws or organic rules, useful for the complex task of modelling an agent society. Others, although they do make contributions in this respect [6] are not very suited for ....

Agent mobility [12, 19] i.e. the agents capability of moving across the Internet while executing, is being recognized as a useful property for both the actual execution and the conceptual design of Internet applications. The actual movement of a software agent i.e. the transfer of its ....

Thus, multi agent systems are viewed as being composed of a number of autonomous interacting entities (an organised society of individuals) in which each agent plays one (or more) speci c roles. In particular, Gaia, like a number of other agent oriented methodologies [10, 9, 18], suggests de ning the structure of a MAS in terms of a role model. This model identi es the roles that agents have to play within the MAS and the interaction protocols in which the di erent roles are involved. The adoption of a role model as the main organisational abstraction means that the ....

An Organisational Characterisation of Multi Agent Systems The organisational perspective leads to a general characterisation of a MAS as depicted in gure 1 [9, 16]. Although some simpler systems can be viewed as a single organisation, as soon as the complexity increases, modularity and encapsulation principles suggest splitting the system into di erent sub organisations. Thus, in most cases, a complex multi agent system can be viewed as several interacting ....

....systems can no longer simply rely on the agent capability of communicating via agent communication languages and of acting accordingly to the need expectations of each agent in the system. Instead, concepts such as organizational rules and social laws are receiving more and more attention [MosT95, DemC96, FerG98], and are leading to a variety of models and proposals. However, these concepts and models often lack of concrete and efficient implementations. The concept of context dependent coordination introduced by this paper is likely to facilitate the definition and the implementation of complex ....
