| Abstract |
Natural systems are regarded as rich sources of inspiration for engineering
artificial systems, particularly when adopting the multiagent system
(MAS) paradigm. To promote a systematic reuse of mechanisms featured
in self-organising systems, we analyse a selection of design patterns
devised from the self-organisation literature. Starting from our
reference MAS metamodel, we propose a pattern scheme that reflects
the peculiarities of self-organising systems. Then, we provide a
complete characterisation of each pattern, with particular attention
to the problem description, the solution with respect to our metamodel,
the natural systems which have inspired the pattern and known applications. |
