Abstract

To this date, there are no comprehensive volumes that cover this increasingly important topic of multiagent organizations. The present proposal aims at filling this space, by structuring and writing a book about this topic, whose synopsis has already been approved by Springer-Verlag forpublication. The idea of writing such a book came from Prof. Virginia Dignum, who has kindly invited me to work with her in this project. (AU)
