Abstract. Most existing multi-agent architectures and multi-agent methodologies deal with domains which have static organization structures, static agent behaviors and small number of agents. This paper introduces an adaptive multi-agent model that is well adapted to domains which have dynamic organization structures, adaptive agents and a big number of agents. It first presents an example of application (Fault tolerant multi-agent systems) to underline the need of such model. It describes then the main components of this new model and their activities.
