Abstract

The engineering of applications for complex and dynamic domains with autonomous participants is an increasingly difficult process. Requirements and functionalities are not fixed a priori, components are not designed nor controlled by a common entity, and unplanned or underspecified changes may occur during runtime. There is a need for representing the regulating structures explicitly and independently from the acting components (or agents). Organization computational models, based on Organization Theory, have been advocated to specify such systems. Comprehensive analysis of several agent systems has shown that different design approaches are appropriate for different domain characteristics. In this chapter we present ongoing work on the integration of multi-agent organization frameworks, which will allow for seamless integration in open environments.
