Title: Using ODML to Model Organizations for Multi-Agent Systems
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a new, domain-independent organizational design representation able to model and predict the quantitative performance characteristics of agent organizations. This representation, capable of capturing a wide range of multi-agent behaviors, can support the selection of an appropriate design given a particular operational context. We demonstrate the capabilities and efficacy of this language by comparing a range of metrics predicted by an ODML model to empirical results from a real-world system.
