Multi-agent systems (MAS) are often understood as complex entities
where a multitude of agents interact, usually with some intended
individual or collective goals.Such a view usually assumessomeform
of organization, or set of norms or conventions that articulate or
restrain interactions in order to make them more e?ective, certain,
or predictable for participants. Engineering e?ective coordi- tion
or regulatory mechanisms is a key problem for the design of open
complex multi-agent systems. In recent years, social and
organizational aspects of agency have become a major issue in MAS
research especially in applications on service-oriented c- puting,
grid computing and ambient intelligence. These applications enforce
the need for using these aspects in order to ensure social order
within these en- ronments. Openness, heterogeneity, and scalability
of MAS pose new demands on traditional MAS interaction models.
Therefore, the view of coordination and controlhasto be expanded to
consider not onlyan agent-centricperspective but also societal and
organization-centric views. However, agent autonomy is often needed
for concretely implementing social order, because autonomousagents
can intelligently adapt the designedorgani- tion to particular
cases and can face unpredicted events. From this perspective
autonomy can also be a possible source of internal change in the
designed or- nizational constructs. Di?erently, autonomous behavior
can also originate forms of self-organizationwhich emerge out of
local interactions and are only partially externally programmed. In
such situations the self-organized order and the - ternally
designed organization can even be in con?ic
