RESUMO

This thesis proposes to integrate systematically organizational models for providing organizational interoperability in open multiagent systems. Organizational interoperability consists in enabling the participation, in the same agent organization, of agents developed with different organizational models. For this purpose, it is applied an approach based on techniques from Model-driven Engineering. The approach is divided in three main steps: (1) to represent the conceptual structure of organizational models by means of metamodels; (2) to identify correspondences among the conceptual structures of the organizational models using as heuristics the idea of organizational modeling dimensions and patterns; (3) to combine the metamodels of the organizational models by following a merge algorithm based on graphs and graph articulations. Using the proposed approach, four existing organizational models are integrated: AGR, STEAM, MOISE+ and ISLANDER. To illustrate the use of the integration, an organizational interoperability infrastructure called MAORI (Model-driven Architecture for Organizational Interoperability) is specified and implemented. The MAORI infrastructure is structured in two layers: (1) the M2M layer, in which the integration of models is used to translate the organizational specifications and states, and (2) the ORI layer, in which the organizational infrastructures are interconnected. To test and validate the approach, MAORI infrastructure was implemented for the organizational infrastructures S-MOISE+ and MADKIT, and an application called Write Paper was developed. Using the implementations, some experiments were done. The results show that the organizational model integration, implemented in the MAORI infrastructure, effectively interconnects distinct organizational infrastructures and enables the participation, in the same agent organization, of agents developed with different organizational models.
