Temporal Languages for Simulation and Analysis of the Dynamics within an Organisation

Abstract. In this paper a modelling approach to the dynamics within a multiagent organisation is presented. A declarative, executable temporal modelling language for organisation dynamics is proposed as a basis for simulation. Moreover, to be able to specify and analyse dynamic properties, another temporal language is put forward, which is much more expressive than the executable language for simulations. Supporting tools have been implemented that consist of a software environment for simulation of multi-agent organisation models and a software environment for analysis of dynamic properties against traces organisation dynamics.
