Within the context of a hierarchy, the focus is on the workstation level and, in particular, the construction of a re-configurable system having production agents, error recovery agents, and a mediator agent structure connecting production and recovery agent hierarchies.
We propose to incorporate reallocation and reconfiguration procedures into agents hierarchy such that fault-tolerance mechanisms can be executed at run-time.
Furthermore, the second level of the agent's profile hierarchy can be refined using the following parametric qualities: age (small children, adult, seniors), gender (male and female), and personalities (bold or fearful).
By applying MAS methodology, motion simulator's control system was partitioned into cooperated controller agents with clear hierarchy.
In the proposed agent-based protection scheme, a hierarchy of two categories of agents- (i) Relay agent and (ii) Configuration agent is designed where the agent communication plays an important role to effectively diagnose the fault conditions and thereby, restore the system through proper relay coordination.
Since empirical consciousness is the function of the possible intellect according to Dietrich, and since in his Neoplatonic hierarchy the agent intellect being the cause of the possible intellect must be superior to it, it follows that empirical consciousness is due to the causal action of the agent intellect.
From a functional perspective, two distinctive hierarchies shape the multi-dimensionality of this architecture: a vertical hierarchy of agents and a horizontal hierarchical communication coordination platform.

A hierarchy of agents of trusted roles is used to accomplish the sub-goals associated with sub-story or subtopic in the provenance structure where an agent role may assume the semantic role of the associated sub-topic.

Decisions about consumption of community, secondary and tertiary health care were made by agents in the state hierarchy on behalf of patients [ 21]. (There have since been changes in this aspect of the quasi market to increase individual patient choice [ 22]. These will be discussed below).
