Multi-agent and Software Architectures: A Comparative Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a collection of architectural styles for multi-agent systems motivated by organizational theory and enterprise organization structures. One of the styles is discussed in detail and part of it is formalized using the Formal Tropos specification language. In addition, we conduct a comparative study of organizational and conventional software architectures using a mobile robot control example from the Software Engineering literature.
