From requirements to multi-agent architecture using organisational concepts

There is a clear relationship between requirements and architectures. However, evolving and elaborating system requirements into a software architecture satisfying those requirements is still a difficult task, mainly based on intuition. To narrow these problems, we are investigating techniques for deriving architectural model in concert with Multi-Agent System (MAS) requirement specifications. Our framework advocates that a multi-agent system corresponds to the organisational structure, in which actors are members of a group in order to perform specific roles. An organisation comprises groups, goals, members, roles and interactions.
