Major trends in the development of modern information technologies are to a large extend determined by important practical problems that arise in economics, ecology, safety of society and individuals, and in other fields. Even though these problems seem to be quite different and the requirements for their software implementation are also different, they have many common features, which imply the most stringent requirements for modern information technologies. These features were analyzed in the first part of the present paper. That analysis showed that the new requirements for the model and software implementation of such problems are best met by the multiagent self-organizing system model. In this paper, we consider examples of using this model in various applications and describe their architectures and software implementation; in particular, multiagent self-organization models as applied for flood forecasting and planning and operational enterprise management are described. New capabilities of multiagent self-organizing systems are demonstrated using a self-learning system for detecting intrusions into computer networks as an example. Here, the problem of self-configuration of an overlay network is actually solved. The capabilities of a multiagent self-organizing system in large-scale control in real time are demonstrated using adaptive traffic control in large cities. For the software implementation of multiagent self-organizing systems, special development tools that are different from the existing ones are needed because the conventional top-down development paradigm is inappropriate for self-organizing architectures. The cause is that the global behavior of a multiagent self-organizing system emerges due to local interactions; therefore, it cannot be predicted in advance. For that reason, the bottom-up development model is more appropriate for such systems. In this paper, we give a brief review of the models and approaches proposed for this purpose. One of the promising approaches based on the use of the so-called self-organization design patterns is described in more detail. Results of using the multiagent self-organization model are discussed and prospects of its practical application are estimated.
