HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.
Complex systems are qualified by the heterogeneity of the involved actors, the large mass of data, the distribution of the manipulated information and the dynamic of the environment in which they are immersed. Designing such systems necessitate theory and methodology. This paper is situated in the AMAS theory and the ADELFE methodology. The AMAS theory (Adaptive Multi-Agent System) was proposed to model complex systems. The ADELFE methodology was proposed to guide the AMAS designer. Building AMAS systems is not an easy task. The objective of the authors' work is to make the task of the AMAS designer less difficult. This paper details two main contributions that the authors proposed in this field. The first contribution consists in improving the ADELFE methodology by simulation techniques. The second contribution consists in enhancing the AMAS agent behavior by giving it the ability to self-design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
