Abstract

A multi-agent approach to problem resolution is located beyond the complexity of the system of agents and resides in the multitude of interactions between the system components. These multiple interactions, if they permit the resolution of a complex problem, also lead to conflicting situations and situations which are undertaken by agents carrying out redundant actions. Then, it becomes necessary to coordinate the existing interactions between agents, in order to structure their activities. This problem is tackled through the notion of organization, which is one of the fundamental aspects of the multi-agent paradigm. In this paper, we propose a model for the description of an agent society based on the description (in an explicit manner) of models of agents and their interactions from the viewpoint of an adaptive organization
