Abstract

Self-organization presents a suitable model for building complex distributed systems which are self-managed. Here, the self-organizing behavior in multi-agent system is one of the most interesting aspect, where, an integrative selforganization mechanism is employed which associates the three principles of self-organization such as cloning, resource exchange and relation adaptation. Estimating the performance of this technique, it defeats when examined with three distinct assessments here and the scenario pretends to be agents with identical capacity. In this research paper the authors have considered agents with distinct capacities and the authors have aimed to design a paradigm to associate dynamic coalition pattern formation technique with self-organization, in an agent network which is well structured. Depending on self-organization rules, coalition formation is incorporated and it facilitates agents to dynamically adjust their degrees of entanglement in distinct coalitions and to unite new coalitions at any time if necessary. To attain the self-adaptation concept, a covenant protocol is employed.
