O-MaSE: a customisable approach to designing and building complex, adaptive multi-agent systems (2010, methodology): “Therefore, OAs represent an extension to the traditional agent-group-role (AGR) model (Ferber and Gutknecht, 1998; Ferber et al., 2003) and the organisational meta-model proposed by Odell et al.”
Handbook on Agent-Oriented Design Processes (2014, methodology): “In particular, ELDAMeth has been integrated with Gaia [11], PASSI [4], and MCP [9] by using a process-driven method engineering approach [3].”
ROMA: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning with Emergent Roles (2020, background): “However, these works exploit prior domain knowledge to decompose tasks and predeﬁne the responsibilities of each role, which prevents role-based MAS from being dynamic and adaptive to uncertain environments.”
