Normally a society of agents is developed to cope with and solve a particular set of problems or to achieve some particular goals and objectives. Different people, organizations and groups have developed and deployed agent societies for their own particular needs. These societies have to communicate, coordinate and compete with each other. In this paper an explanation is provided as to what is ...

We present a conceptual framework for agent societies that incorporates the specification of global organizational characteristics with individual aims and capabilities. The framework consists of three interrelated models each describing different aspects of the society. The organizational model describes agent societies in terms of roles, constraints and interactions rules. The social model po...

We outline a model for a society of agents based upon one of the classical theories of sociology: The Weber’s model. We first investigate its links to agent technology through its relationship with the modeling of micro economy and the concept of expected utility. Then, some of the features of an agent society are enhanced by imposing security and validation requirements. We show that a societa...

The concept of agent societies (or organizations) has become an important research area in the field of agentrelated systems and vice versa. In order to do field-related simulations or to solve a variety of problems based in this research area, Multi-Agent System (MAS) frameworks are necessary. Several good proposals have been presented in this field. This paper presents a new MAS-based framewo...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

Intelligent multi-agent systems offer a new architectural style for distributed and knowledge-intensive applications. Now that agent systems are applied on a wider industrial scale, there is a practical need for structured conceptual modelling methods, similar to what is in use for conventional large-scale information and knowledge systems. Such knowledge-level methods are still inadequate for ...
