Abstract
This paper tries to analyze the positive effect of the emergent structures in the objects’ aggregation task which is performed by a cognitive multi-agent system (CMAS). Indeed, these structures allow improving overall performance of the system by the optimization of the planning time and satisfaction level of the cognitive agents. A series of simulations enables us to discuss our system.
