Abstract

Reorganization in Multi-Agent Systems plays a crucial role in the dynamic adaptation of the structure and the behaviour of organizations. In order to ensure consistency of the resulting organization, the reorganization process has to be controlled. This paper proposes a novel approach for controlling the reorganization process of Multi-Agent Systems, which are specified and implemented using the Framework OMACS (Organizational Model for Adaptive Computational Systems). The proposed control process is accomplished using the Framework MOP (Monitoring Oriented Programming) for supporting the verification of some reorganizational properties. The proposed approach, supported by a software tool that we developed, is illustrated using a concrete case study.
