Abstract :
Dynamic creation of agent organizations and management of its structural constraints has been considered as a relevant feature that should be offered by agent platforms. In this work, organizational concepts have been integrated into Spade multi-agent system platform, providing several services related to organization topologies in order to control agent interactions and dynamic creation, deletion and management of agent groups and organizations. Thus, Spade API has been extended with several functions for implementing MAS organizations.
