Abstract :
To create a methodology able to provide efficient models of multi agent architectures meant to solve physical-like problems, we focus on the intuitive definition of a failure cause, and translate it into a rigorous formal model adapted to large groups of situated agents. We use it to propose and test methodologies based on a cause eradication strategy, progressively expanding its sphere of applicability to adapt it to practical examples.
