Abstract

This paper aims at explaining how to follow an agent-oriented process to develop a multi-agent mechanism design system. ADELFE methodology is devoted to adaptive multi-agent systems in which adaptation is enabled by cooperative self-organization. Two main works are emphasized. First, the analysis leads to the agent identification by studying the interactions both between the system and its environment and within the system itself. Second, the different modules of the agents and their cooperative attitude are modeled during the design phase. Such an approach is promising, but raises some difficulties considering the notion of cooperation, which is discussed before concluding.
