A complex system is a set of entities interrelated in a retroactive way. The system dynamics is held by the retroactive interactions occuring between its components, making the behaviour, structure or organisation of the global system emergent and non predictable from/non reducible to the individual behaviour or structure of its components.This characteristic of complex systems, makes them more considered from their organisational point of view rather than from the structural/ behavioural aspects of their components. The multi-agent paradigm provides a very suitable tool for modeling/engineering such systems. Many examples exist in the MAS litterature, showing the use of the multi-agent paradigm to develop such systems. However, existing works propose ad hoc approaches/mechanisms. In this paper we discuss some of these works and present a set of intuitive guidelines for engineering self-organising systems, through their positionning at the heart of 3 domains: Complex Adaptive Systems, Non Linear Dynamic Systems and Situated Multi-Agents.
