Abstract

The multi-agent paradigm is widely used to provide solutions to anumber of organizational problems related to the collective achievement ofone or more tasks. All these problems share a common difficulty of design:how to proceed from the global specification of a collective task to thespecification of the local behaviors to be provided to the agents? We havedefined the Cassiopeia method whose specificity is to articulate the designof a multi-agent system around the notion of organization. This paperreports the use of this method for designing and implementing theorganization of a soccer-playing robotic team. We show why we chose thisapplication and how we designed it, and we discuss its interest and inherentdifficulties in order to clearly express the needs for a design methodologydedicated to DAI.
