Summary:MAS are particularly adapted to deal with distributed and dynamic environment. The management of business workflow, or data flow, is typically a good application field for them. This kind of application requires centralization of the data control and flexibility to change of the network. By taking inspiration from the Holonic Multi-Agent organisations (that are particular pyramidal organisations where agents of a layer (having the same coordinator) are able to communicate and to negotiate directly between them), and working mechanisms of the complex human organisations, we propose a framework for holonic multi-agent organizations, able to growth and distribute roles and where agents have adaptable roles.
