Ontology of cooperating agents by means of knowledge components

Abstract

A special way of structuralisation of knowledge and functionality of multi-agent systems is proposed that allows (self-) organisation and realisation of their global goal. Formally based structuralisation can also aid a process of designing (assembling) and documenting such a system. The approach is illustrated by the case of knowledge structuralisation of the decentralised information decision system oriented to diagnosis of casting defects.
