A Role and Rule-Based Multi-agent Organization for HWME

At present the complexity of real world application has go beyond the capabilities of traditional decision support system. Therefore, Chinese scientists proposed a methodology for very complex problem solving named "Hall for Workshop of Metasynthetic Engineering", which is characterized by the integration of human experts group with the computer-based systems. Agent-based design paradigm, which is most suitable for the distributed, dynamic and open environments, provides an applicable solution for the construction of HWME. The design adopts an organizational perspective, i.e. identify roles and interaction between them as well as the organizational rules.
