Abstract
Multi-agent systems have been proposed for the development of complex software systems as a way to handle complexity (Jennings 2001). It has also been advocated that basic agent oriented systems do not have the power to cope with large software and that it is crucial to use organizations centered multi-agent systems (OCMAS) (Ferber et al. 2004 ; Dignum 2009).
