Abstract
Self-organization of a collection of agents is a crucial concern in multi-agent systems that operate in open and dynamic environments. Most self-organizing mechanisms proposed in previous works tackle organization structure issues at design time. However, in open environments, agents must be able to adapt by achieving the most appropriate organization according to the environment conditions and their unpredictable changes. The main goal of this paper is to propose an alternative to implement and manage autonomous self-organizing systems. This proposal focuses on the well known Scout Movement or Scouting which has been a very successful youth movement in which the self-organization of its members can be observed. The results presented in this paper show that the Scouting principles can be used to automatize a self-adaption mechanism capable to reorganize a MAS along with the discussion of few patents associated with Self- Organizing Multi-Agent Systems.
