....draws conclusions. 2. RELATED WORK The organizational structure of agent based systems, which provides the mechanism through which agents coordinate or cooperate to achieve system goals, has been the subject of much research over the past few decades (Chandrasekaran, 1981; Fox, 1981; Kirn, 1996; Nirenburg and Lesser, 1986; Singh, 1990; Smith, 1980; Werner and Demazeau, 1991; Wesson et al. 1981) Although these studies have shed much light on agent behavior under different problem solving frameworks, a formal description of generalized (high level, application independent) agent problem solving interaction is ....

To each of the micro organizations within an organization we can assign an activity processor to assist in carrying out the functions of the micro organization. An activity processor, in addition to coordinating the execution of the entities within itself, can communicate with other ....

.... directly [63] But while Pan and Tenenbaum have been developing their framework from the bottom up using relatively simple agents initially, their work has led them into the same scientific arena as researchers that have been investigating the use of AI and DAI to support human organizations [9, 17, 46, 61, 70, 74, 75, 81]. In their invited paper entitled DAI Betwixt and Between: From intelligent agents to open systems science, Hewitt and Inman also emphasize the critical role that DAI should play in bridging the gap between what mainstream AI technology can provide for enhancing personal productivity and what ....

....relevant information, the amount of information can become overwhelming [8, 41, 54] By building AI systems with coordination knowledge, we can remove some of the burden from people. Domains where this is important include intelligent command and control systems and multiuser project coordination [16, 57, 60, 70]. By building networks of CDPS computer assistants for the people in an organization, we can improve coordination by allowing these assistants to solve (initially routine) coordination problems such as scheduling meetings or routing messages to suitable people. The advantages of this CDPS ....
