Abstract

This chapter presents an approach to organizational-self design (OSD), a method of designing organizations at run-time in which the agents are responsible for generating their own organizational structures. OSD is especially suitable for environments that are dynamic, albeit slowly changing. Such environments preclude the use of static, design-time generated, organizational structures, and yet contain certain characteristics and conditions that change slowly, if at all, and these characteristics can be harnessed for the purposes of creating stable organizational structures. This chapter extends the existing approaches to OSD by applying them to worth-oriented domains – that is, domains in which problems are represented using TÆMS based task structures. This chapter presents our OSD primitives and framework and discusses some interesting future lines of research.
