Abstract

We propose a social coherence-based model and simulation framework to study the dynamics of multi-agent organizations. Thismodel rests on the notion of social commitment to represent all the agents' explicit inter-dependencies including roles and organizational structures. A local coherence-based approach is used that, along with a sanction policy, ensures social control in the system and the emergence of social coherence. We illustrate the model and the simulator with a simple experiment comparing two sanction policies.
