Abstract

In this paper, we present a Basic Organization Structure (BOS) model, which can support complicated cooperative strategies in large mutual networks. The model is a cooperative knowledge-representing framework for cooperative problem solving in current LAN architecture and hierarchical organization. BOS is mainly used to support the cooperative problem solving among the coarse-grained, loosely-coupled, and groups of semiautonomous agents. The essential characteristics, knowledge representations, and computational models of the BOS model are illuminated in this paper. And BOS has been implemented and tested on the real-world application of Distributed Traveling Information Management.
