Abstract: Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) can be subject to changes reflecting the
continuous emergence of new requirements. Thus, diversity of the basics on
one hand, and the complexity of the concepts related to agents on the other
hand, make it difficult to conceive and develop a reconfigurable multi-agent
system architecture. In this paper, we relay on formal methods to manage the
complexity of these aspects and reason on the design of MAS architectures.
Precisely, we propose a formal modelling approach based on Bigraphs (BRS) for the specification of multi-agent system
architectures and their reconfiguration. BRS present a promising and
effective solution for the development of high quality and safe MAS at
reasonable cost and time span. In addition, they enable the verification of
MAS relevant properties using a bigraphical model checking tool named BigMC.
