Complexity of information technology systems is increasing continually. A very good solution would be using agents in implementing and controlling these systems. Multi-Agent Systems are good examples of using agents for system control and implementation. On the other hand, Multi-Agent systems need to be controlled and managed too. Using organizations is one of the best solutions. Many research studies have been done in this field. In this paper we will try to introduce, explain, and compare some related works. We will extract their pros and cons. For the weaknesses of this research studies, we have proposed some solutions. In this paper we propose our model of organization, which implements Self-Adaptation features using Self-Organization and can improve extracted problems of existing models. Altogether, we have tried to analyze and compare some of main proposed models for Multi-Agent systems’ organization. Finally we have proposed a model to improve Self-Organized organizations of Multi-Agent systems.
