Abstract
Fervent communication on social networking sites provides opportunities for potential issues to trigger individuals into individual action as well as the attraction and mobilization of like-minded individuals into an organization that is both physically and virtually emergent. Examples are the rapid pace of Arab Spring and the diffusion rate of the Occupy Movement. We intend to view this as a complex adaptive system where diverse agents perform various actions without adherence to a predefined structure. The achievement of joint actions will be a result of continual interactions between them that shape a dynamic network. Agents may form an ad hoc organization based on a dynamic network of interactions for the purpose of achieving a long-term objective, which we termed as a Network Organization (NO).

Integrating self-organisation into dynamic coalition formation
AAMAS '12: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems - Volume 3In some real systems, e.g., sensor networks, individual agents will often need to form coalitions to accomplish complex tasks. Due to communication or computation constrains, it is infeasible for agents to directly interact with all other peers to form ...
The Semiformal Organization
This paper draws attention to a new dimension of organization, the semiformal organization, and it reveals how the allocation of different membership forms can render knowledge-intensive organizations more flexible and exploratory in their knowledge ...
Self-organisation in an agent network via learning
AAMAS '10: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems: volume 1 - Volume 1In this paper, a decentralised self-organisation mechanism in an agent network is proposed. The aim of this mechanism is to achieve efficient task allocation in the agent network via dynamically altering the structural relations among agents, i.e. ...
