Abstract

The specific organization used by a multi-agent system is crucial for its effectiveness and efficiency. In dynamic environments, or when the objectives of the system shift, the organization must therefore be able to change as well. In this paper we propose using a general diagnosis engine to drive this process of adaptation, using the \tems\ modeling language as the primary representation of organizational information. Results from experiments employing such a system in the Producer-Consumer-Transporter domain are also presented.
