Minute of the Meeting

Who

Many topics can be considered of interest between our research fields. The following issues have been discussed:

The ecosystem of services in the Agreement Technologies (AT) research is supported by agents, so it could be interesting to make a comparative with SODA, for example using artifacts as coordination media in AT.
Designing a set of adaptive architectural patterns based in tuple centres. Each example of tuple centres could be matched with an organisational unit, so a hierarchy of tuple centers could lead to a hierarchy of organisations. After that, union of patterns, fusion, etc. could be feasible.
The combination of certain patterns from different contexts (producing an "initiative", a growing organisation), plus the addition of tuple centres could lead to a meta-pattern or "pattern-of-pattern".
Defining the start point, from where the dynamism, auto-organisation, etc. of an "initiative" can be triggered, so that the ecosystem of services can be maintained or its functionality can be increased. Similarly, it is necessary to define the "inhibitors" (to end the growing process) that will transform the "initiative" into a full organisation. These can be related to notions and mechanisms of SODA and SODA+zoom.

The meeting ends at 13:30.

We'll share with other collaborators of ours and we'll see who is interested in what.
