Modeling of social environment in multi-agent systems

Recent research in MAS is partly concentrating on formalization of multi-agent system and precise standardization of its architecture. This standard divides MAS into two parts, namely an agent system and an environment. Agent system can be viewed as a container for agents and the environment as an instrument to manage them and support their "lives". The environment level of multi-agent systems results in emerging of a new research field called environmental engineering. The paper is focused to the application of MAS for the solution of some problems of society performance. From this aspect the paper deals with building of knowledge in MAS environment, its incorporating into MAS environment and management of virtual societies.
