Abstract
While multi-agent systems seem to provide a good basis for building
complex software systems, this paper points out some of the drawbacks
of classical “agent centered� multi-agent systems. To resolve these
difficulties we claim that organization centered multi-agent system,
or OCMAS for short, may be used. We propose a set of general principles
from which true OCMAS may be designed. One of these principles is
not to assume anything about the cognitive capabilities of agents.
In order to show how OCMAS models may be designed, we propose a very
concise and minimal OCMAS model called AGR, for Agent/Group/Role.
We propose a set of notations and a methodological framework to help
the designer to build MAS using AGR. We then show that it is possible
to design multi-agent systems using only OCMAS models.
