In order to highlight the impact of the organizational structure on the efficiency of a multi-agent, experiments were carried out, based on variations in the size of the system and in the composition of groups of agents. The evaluation is focused on the criteria of framework and co-ordination costs, on the agents' expertise development and on combinations of the agents. The results obtained confirm the importance of a correct choice of system structure, and they validate the criteria models selected.
