A flexible and adaptive artificial system must have two different capabilities: the diverse behavior of the system should be dynamically inducible, and the induced unstable behavior should be able to be coordinated into a specified stable state. It can be considered that flexibility is a phenomenon where a system has non-trivial behavior, and adaptability is the ability to find a certain state that is well-fulfilled in a specified situation from within such non-trivial behavior. A decentralized autonomous system framework gives the capability of flexibility for an artificial system by its instability characteristics being within the composition of its framework. On the other hand, adaptability can be derived by self-organization to coordinate the diverse system's behavior towards a certain state. This paper shows a formalism of self-organization in a decentralized autonomous system framework in a company with the feasibility of applying self-organization into a concrete engineering system problem.
