A Process for Modeling the MAS Organization

摘要

According to Jennings' point, there is three level need to be described for modeling MASs: organization, high-level interactions and agents. MASs always work in some organizational context and MASs also are viewed as organizations in several agent oriented methodologies. So, we should describe the organizational context in which MASs exist and the organizational relationships among agents. Now, those methodologies have included the organization model in their modeling process. But, the problem of how to get the MAS organization model has not been solved in those methodologies. This paper presents a process for modeling MAS organization model that combine I~* framework and use case technique. We give an example to demonstrate the process.
