ICS / SIKS Symposium Agent Organizations Intelligent Systems Group, Utrecht University 13 January 2004 Agent organizations are an emergent area of application of MAS that requires interdisciplinary research approaches at different levels of abstraction. Agent organizations demand the integration of organizational and individual perspectives, the dynamic adaptation of models to organizational and environmental changes, and rely for a great extent on the notion of openness and heterogeneity of MAS. This symposium presents current research on the practical and formal aspects of agent organizations.
