    Agreeing on Role Adoption in Open Organisations
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 26, No. 1, 2012) Aldewereld, Huib; Dignum, Virginia; Jonker, Catholijn M.; Riemsdijk, M. Birna
    The organisational specification of a multi-agent system supports agents’ effectiveness in attaining their purpose, or prevent certain undesired behaviour from occurring. This requires that agents are able to find out about the organisational purpose and description and decide on its appropriateness for their own objectives. Organisational modeling languages are used to specify an agent system in terms of its roles, organizational structure, norms, etc. Agents take part in organisations by playing one or more of the specified roles for which they have the necessary capabilities.In this paper, we investigate the process of role adoption in the context of the well-known OperA organisational modelling language. In OperA, each organisation has a gatekeeper role responsible for admitting agents to the organisation. Agents playing the role of gatekeeper can interact with agents that want to enter the organisation in order to come to agreement on role adoption. That is, negotiate which roles they will play and under which conditions they will play them. This is possible by evaluating capability requirements for roles. We extend OperA to allow for the specification of role capabilities. This approach will be illustrated using the Blocks World for Teams (BW4T) domain.

    Controlled Run-Time Adaptivity in Industrial Agent Systems - Challenges and Research Prospects
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Sudeikat, Jan; Köhler-Bußmeier, Michael
    Developing Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) inherently requires enabling run-time adaptivity. These systems integrate physical components, which operate in changeable contexts. In addition, objectives may change, due to socio-technical aspects. Industrial agents have been proposed for enhancing future industrial automation and control systems and integrating agents in industrial systems is an active field of research. Besides enabling technical compatibility of agent concepts and frameworks, the design and orchestration of agent activities have to be fine-tuned and a goal-directed adaption@run.time requires that the system can analyze its own structure at run-time; therefore, the system’s structure has to be reflected inside the system. Here, we outline current work and research challenges on how explicit organizational modeling can facilitate developing industrial agent systems. We discuss architectural aspects and outline how adaptations of organizations can be enabled, modeled and automated following the MAPE-K approach.
