An Investigation of Reorganization Algorithms

Organization-based multiagent systems are designed to be highly adaptable systems. These systems are able to adapt themselves to changes that occur in the environment. One of the ways to achieve adaptability is through reorganization. Currently, there are a number of organization models that achieve adaptability with reorganization. This paper looks at how reorganization might occur for the Organization Model for Adaptive Computational Systems. This paper highlights the shortcomings of the current model with respect to general-purpose reorganization algorithms and provides some suggestions that could improve efficiency of these reorganization algorithms.
