rganizational structures supported by agent-oriented methodologies

Agent technology is a software paradigm that permits to implement large and complex distributed applications. In order to assist the development of multi-agent systems, agent-oriented methodologies (AOM) have been created in the last years to support modelling more and more complex applications. Even though agents are perceived as autonomous entities that act according to some objectives, they are also members of a society, and have to exchange information with other agents and maintain some
