Static organizational structures are not always suited for large-scale open multi-agent systems. On the other hand, emergent organizational structures may lead to undesirable behavior despite agent-level adaptation. We thus propose a new adaptive multi-agent architecture with both agent-level and organization-level adaptation. The global-level adaptation is based on the monitoring of the system?s behavior and the dynamic reification of an organizational structure. This structure is used to prevent or detect undesirable behavior and take the required corrective actions. This architecture is applied to fault-tolerant multi-agent systems.
