Abstract
This paper proposes an organizational model for a multi- agent system. This model is based on three major concepts: the roles which constrain the individual behaviors of the agents, the organizatio- nal links that regulate the social exchanges between these agents and the groups which constrain the layout of agents involved in strong in- teractions. This model is illustrated throughout the exploration and the management of the administrative tasks of an educational master trai- ning with intelligent agent assistants.
