An Organizational Structure and Self-Adaptive Mechanism for Holonic Multi-Agent Systems

A holonic multi-agent system combines the concept of a holon with a multi-agent system; this combination has been proven to be an effective way to build a complex system. Great progress has been made in this area, but previous studies are fragmented and lack of a task-based perspective to model diff...
