Abstract: Multi-agent systems... In this paper we introduce three additional organisational concepts - organisational rules, organisational structures, and organisational patterns - and discuss why we believe they are necessary for the complete specification of computational organisations. In particular, we focus on the concept of organisational rules and introduce a formalism, based on temporal logic, to specify them. This formalism is then used to drive the definition of the organisational structure... (Update)

...way of conceiving multi agent systems. Additionally, the early proposals have matured tremendously and were well established in [8][9]. Zambonelli s conception of organisations as work frames that accommodate a topology based on the concept of role [10] has been a revulsive...

...in terms of, e.g. functions, activities or responsibilities. It should also be possible to define their interaction protocols (see [26]) The concept of groups is an example of an organisational abstraction that defines different sub organisations according to modularity and...
