“…The approach implemented in the MAGIQUE platform (Routier et al, 2001;Mathieu et al, 2002a;Mathieu et al, 2002b) (Table 7) provides an adaptation mechanism that focus on two kinds of adaptation: individual adaptation and social adaptation. The agent society model defines an organization composed by agents, which are able to provide skills and can interact to each other according to the relationships structure, which defines the links between agents.…”

Abstract. Adaptation in Multiagent Systems societies provides a paradign for allowing these societies to change dynamically in order to satisfy the current requirements of the system. This support is especially required for the next generation of systems that focus on open, dynamic, and adaptive applications. In this paper, we analyze the current state of the art regarding approaches that tackle the adaptation issue in these agent societies. We survey the most relevant works up to now in order to highlight the most remarkable feautures according to what they support and how this support is provided. In order to compare these approaches, we also identify different characteristics of the adaptation process that are grouped in different phases. Finally, we discuss some of the most important considerations about the analyzed approaches and we provide some interesting guidelines as open issues that should be required in future developments.

Electronic commerce technology is more and more present and people are getting connected together. Companies and users want to automate their task and discover new business opportunities. Many standards and initiatives have been already proposed. Most of them focus on business-to-business protocol definition. Unfortunately, the commercial solutions provided today do not provide sufficient support for integration. Software agents have already been proposed as a key technology for connecting people and adding new features in electronic trading. However, most of the agent-based solutions already proposed have not really changed the user's experience, neither have they brought a major shift from traditional activities in classic markets. This is mainly due to their inflexibility. The work proposed combines both, advantages from software agent technology, and from P2P networking technology. The solution has four layers where each one encapsulates a specific set of functionalities: communication, business, cooperation and coordination. Users can adapt or modify the internal structure of one layer without necessarily affecting the others.

Starting from a default organization, the architecture of acquaintances evolves autonomously depending on messages flow in order to improve the global behavior of the system.…”
