Abstract: | Coordination has been recognized by many researchers as the most important feature of multi-agent systems. Coordination is
defined as managing interdependencies amongst activities (Malone and Crowston in ACM Comput. Surv. 26(1):87–119, 1994). The traditional approach of implementing a coordination mechanism is to hard-wire it into a coordination system at design
time. However, in dynamic and open environments, many attributes of the system cannot be accurately identified at the design
time. Therefore, dynamic coordination, capable of coordinating activities at run-time, has emerged. On the other hand, a successful
dynamic coordination model for multi-agent systems requires knowledge sharing as well as common vocabulary. Therefore, an
ontological approach is an appropriate way in proposing dynamic coordination models for multi-agent systems. In this paper,
an Ontology-Driven Dynamic Coordination Model (O-DC) for Multiagent-Based Mobile Workforce Brokering Systems (MWBS) (Mousavi

15–17 June 2010, vol. 3, pp. 1416–1421, 2010; Mousavi and Nordin in Proceedings of the IEEE international conference on electrical engineering and informatics, Bandung,
Indonesia, 17–19 June 2007, pp. 294–297, 2007) is proposed and formulated. Subsequently, the applicability of O-DC is examined via simulation based on a real-world scenario. |
