....must be formed rapidly so tasks are performed within given deadlines, and teams must be reformed in response to the dynamic appearance or disappearance of tasks. The problems with the current team formation work for such dynamic real time domains are two fold. First, most team formation algorithms [12, 4, 2, 3, 7] are static. In order to adapt to the changing environment the static algorithm would have to be run repeatedly. Second, much of the work in RoboCupRescue has largely relied on experimental work and the competitions have been very useful in comparing various algorithms. A complementary technique ....

.... of groups, leadership and other social formations are receiving growing attention for designing and implementing robust open multi agent systems [14] Secondly, an efficient task distribution and execution is increasingly found to depend on dynamic, adaptive (self ) organised activity [2] [9] [8] Thirdly, organisational practice is shown [4] to depend more on complex interrelationships among individuals and the environment rather than upon on an explicit hierarchical organisational design (cf. the PCANS model [11] We are only too aware of the huge body of literature on theories, ....

Each sensor node is autonomous, capable of communication, computation and observation through the attached sensor. We assume a one to one correspondence between ....

....common implementation style among the available components. JAF also makes heavy use of Java Bean s notion of event streams, which permit dynamic interconnections to form between stream generating and subscribing components. For instance, we have developed a causal model based diagnosis component [13] which tracks the overall performance of the agent, and makes suggestions on how to optimize or repair processes performed by, or related to, the agent. The observation and diagnosis phase of this technology is enabled by the use of dynamic event streams, which the diagnosis component will form ....

Space limitations prevent a a complete report of the project here, more complete results can be found in [17] Instead, we will give a synopsis of a small scenario, which also makes use of diagnosis based reorganization [13]. A dishwasher and waterheater exist in the house, related by the fact that the dishwasher uses the hot water the waterheater produces. Under normal circumstances, the dishwasher assumes sucient water will be available for it to operate, since the waterheater will attempt to maintain a consistent ....

....system survivability within the MASS simulator [24] Later, additional agents were developed in JAF within the IHome project [16] which looked at how multi agent systems could play a role in an intelligent home environment. JAF agents were also augmented with a diagnosis component in IHome [13] and a Producer Consumer Transporter domain [2] to study the role diagnosis can play in dynamically adapting organizational design in response to environmental change. Most recently, JAF has deployed in a distributed sensor network environment [14] where agents must organize to gather the ....

....shift, the organization must therefore be able to change as well. In this abstract we propose using a general diagnosis engine to drive this process of adaptation, using the TMS modeling language as the primary representation of organizational information. A complete version of this paper is at [1] As the sizes of multi agent systems grow in the number of their participants, the organization of those agents will be increasingly important. In such an environment, an organization is used to limit the range of control decisions agents must make, which is a necessary component of scalable ....
