Abstract;In the past decade, computational organization theory(COT) has provided both organization and computer science people with models, techniques, and applications based on symbol manipulations. This paper discusses the issues of COT based studies on multiagent systems including social interaction and organizational behaviors of people and/or software agents. There remain three basic problems: compliexity of models, parameter tuning, and application domains. To overcome such problems, we are developing novel multiagent- or polyagent-based architectures: Organizational-learning oriented Classifier System(OCS) and a simulation environment TRURL. This paper gives the overview of the architectures and explains how we cope with the basic problems by using OCS and TRURL. The results suggest the new direction on multiagent reseraches: Organizational Computing. (author abst.)
