Closing the Gap Between Organizational Models and Multi-Agent System Deployment

Abstract

Multi-agent system research deals with organization theoretical concepts in order to analyse and control supra-individual phenomena. However, there exists a conceptual gap between organizational specifications and their multi-agent implementation. We address this problem by presenting an integrated approach for the specification and deployment of organizational models based on Petri nets.
