Abstract A Multi-Agent System (MAS) is an organization of coordinated autonomous agents that interact in order to achieve common goals.

This book describes a modeling approach (called the i* framework) that conceives of software-based information systems as being situated in environments in ...

This book offers a new approach to the requirements challenge, based on modeling and analyzing the relationships among stakeholders.

Since the fundamental concepts of multi-agent systems are social and intentional, the design of MAS architectures should be eased by using what we call social ...
