Paper Abstract:
|
Many Information Technology (IT) and computing systems exhibit self-organising, adaptive behaviours similar to
complex adaptive systems (CAS): they are composed of many interacting parts, giving rise to emergent patterns of
behaviour. They self-organise and adapt to changes in the environment without central control or rules governing their
behaviours. This characteristic of complex systems makes them more compelling from the organisational point of view
rather than from the structural/behavioural aspects of their components. In this paper, we propose an approach for the
development of such systems using situated multi-agent systems, governed by the co-evolution of the social and spatial
organisations of the agents. We apply this approach to the simulation of online communities. |
