“…Based on these remarks and limitations of most previously proposed MAS organizational models, we proposed a novel organizational model for engineering complex large-scale MAS-based applications. The new MAS organizational model was called NOSHAPE and conceptually presented in [76]. NOSHAPE is supposed to handle all the limitations of other related models.…”

Abstract:In complex, open, and heterogeneous environments, agents must be able to reorganize towards the most appropriate organizations to adapt unpredictable environment changes within Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Types of reorganization can be seen from two different levels. The individual agents level (micro-level) in which an agent changes its behaviors and interactions with other agents to adapt its local environment. And the organizational level (macro-level) in which the whole system changes it structure by adding or removing agents. This chapter is dedicated to overview different aspects of what is called MAS Organization including its motivations, paradigms, models, and techniques adopted for statically or dynamically organizing agents in MAS.

“…The organisational model NOSHAPE (Abbas and Shaheen, 2017;Abbas and Shaheen, 2014) combines the ACMAS and OCMAS approaches to provide a more general model than other proposals. Organisational behaviour is separated from the agent's individual behaviour, so that agents can focus on their tasks without regard to organisational issues.…”

Real world applications using agent-based solutions can include many agents that needs communicate and interact each other in order to meet their objectives. In open multi-agent systems, the problems may include the organisation of a large number of agents that may be heterogeneous, of unpredictable provenance and where competitive behaviours or conflicting objectives may occur. An overview of the alternatives for dealing with these problems is presented, highlighting the way they try to solve or mitigate these problems.

“…Ferber et al [10] pointed out that the classical agentcentered MAS (ACMAS) have many drawbacks and are no longer suitable to build complex software systems, and they stated that the solution can be achieved by using organizationcentered MAS (OCMAS) in which higher order abstractions such as groups, organizations, and societies of agents should be considered as first order citizens within MAS. Designing and engineering OCMAS is usually done by using what is called organizational model [11]. The motivation to design organizational models is that in open environments, agents must be able to adapt towards the most appropriate organizations according to the working environment conditions and its dynamic unpredictable changes.…”

Adaptive Agent-Based SCADA System

Modern supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems comprise variety of industrial equipment such as physical control processes, logical control systems, communication networks, computers, and communication protocols. They are concerned with control and supervision of production control processes. Modern SCADA networks contain highly distributed information, control, and location. Moreover, they contain large number of heterogeneous components situated in highly changing and uncertain environments. As a result, engineering modern SCADA is a challenging issue and conventional engineering approaches are no longer suitable for them because of their increasing complexity and highly distribution. In this research, Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are used to enable building adaptive agentbased SCADA system by modeling system components as agents in the micro level and as organizations or societies of agents in the macro level. A prototype has been implemented and evaluated within a simulation environment for demonstrating the adaptive behavior of the system-to-be, which results in continuous improvement of system performance.
