Abstract

The
increasing demand for systems that exhibits human like behavior and deals with
real world problems at runtime, is drawing attention to the development of
adaptive systems. The objective of our work is to define an adaptive
architecture for multi-agent systems, that considers BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention)
agents based on the organization theory. We define the scope of adaptation in
multi-agent systems to clarify needs for the adaptation and to define an
adaptive architecture to be able to perform the dynamic autonomous behavior at
runtime.

Keywords

Complex adaptive systems, intelligent agents, BDI architecture
