Abstract
Two basic trends in specifying and studying complex graphs and networks to model multi-agent systems are discussed. The authors associate the complexity of graphs with such factors as heterogeneity, hierarchy, granularity, hybrid structure, emergence, capacity to cope with uncertainty or fuzziness. In this context some basic representations of fuzzy graphs and metagraphs are considered, models of nested and interval-valued fuzzy metagraphs are introduced. An example of heterogeneous network called goal-resource network is given on the basis of detailed agent architecture and their types classification. Some goal-resource networks with colored vertices to show the interactions between agents of different types are proposed. The metagraph interpretation of such a network is suggested too.
