Multi-agent project as partnership instrument in science-innovative sector

Main idea of this paper deals with organizational aspects of partnership development on the basis of multi-agent systems (MAS). Category and context of interdisciplinary multi-agent project (MMP) are suggested; such project is understood as organizational voluntary form of cooperation between representatives of different discipline areas which is used in order to solve complex adaptive problems. Requirements for multi-agent projects’ formation and implementation are defined basing on the analysis of such projects’ specific characteristics and problems of their governance. Empirical part is presented by projects from the Reindustrialization program of Novosibirsk region’s economy as well as by projects which are developed by organizations from Novosibirsk Academgorodok.

Keywords: science innovative sector, multi-agent projects, partnership, adaptive problems, reindustrialization program.
