Abstract

Holonic Multi-Agent organisations are particular pyramidal organisations where agents of a layer (having the same coordinator) are able to communicate and to negotiate directly between them. In order to benefit from control allowed by the hierarchical structure of a holonic organisation and from dynamic roles, we propose a holonic multi-agent organisation inspired from working mechanisms of the complex human organisations. We have implemented this architecture by offering a role management capacity to a hierarchical multi-agent platform.
