“…To specify and describe the functioning of the CIGS and more precisely how agents interact, we choose to model the system with an organizational perspective. Introducing organizational abstractions like roles and protocols makes it possible to structure and regulate agents' interactions to organize their functioning, to limit con icts and reduce communication cost [9]. Using these two abstractions, allows the design of the organization without worrying about the micro level composed of agents, but rather focusing on the macro level composed of roles and their interaction protocols.…”

To design complex Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), the use of high-level abstraction concepts such as roles, protocols, and groups, makes the task relatively easier and closer to the reality of the system or domain that we want to simulate or create. These concepts were introduced through the multi-agent Organizational Models (OM) which can be seen at two levels: i) an abstract level which is the Organizational Structure (OS) and ii) a concrete level which is the Concrete Organization (CO) to be deployed and executed. This article is dedicated to the formal specification and validation of the identified roles in the Organizational Structure before a real deployment to generate systems with organizations exhibiting good qualities. Also, a proposal of a set of steps to automatically generate the code of the designed agent will be presented. In addition, the evaluation of some organizational aspects will be done at the abstract level makes it possible to adjust the design to remedy any failures before a real instantiation. The application domain used in this context, is a Cooperative Information Gathering System (CIGS) for travel organization.

“…As for our application scenario, research on open, distributed, multi-agent-based and trust-enhanced Desktop Grid systems can for instance be found in (Domingues et al, 2007), (Shudo et al, 2005) and (Dyson et al, 2004). Additional coverage of MAS organisations in similar scenarios has also been considered in (Thabet et al, 2011), (Abdallah et al, 2004) and (Wang and Vassileva, 2004).…”

In this paper, the multi-agent organisation Trusted Community is presented. Trusted Communities are formed and joined by self-organised by agents with strong mutual trust relations and the purpose to increase their personal utility. Trusted Communities are maintained by management actions delegated by a designated member called Trusted Community Manager, having the goal to preserve and optimise the composition and stability of this organisation. This organisation provides performance benefits for their members by improving interaction efficiency, information sharing and cooperation between the agents. In the work presented here, Trusted Communities are conceptually defined and the application in an open Desktop Grid System is discussed.
