The PopOrg model (Population-Organization Model of Agent Societies), is being built as a continued extension of the ancient PopOrg model of organization of multiagent systems, initially proposed in (Demazeau & Costa, 1996).

Many extensions were introduced, in several directions, in the mid 2000-2010, by Costa & Dimuro.

However, a unifying framework was lacking, to put those extensions in appropriate connection to each other, and to give the PopOrg model a sound theoretical basis.

By peeking through some foundational approaches to Social Sciences (essentially within Anthropology, Sociology and Political Science), the necessary theoretical basis was able to construed.

The main consequence of the adoption of that conceptual basis was the reconsideration of the aim of the PopOrg model, now envisaged to tackle the problem of modeling agent systems that can be seen as agent societies.

It is in this sense that the PopOrg model is now being conceived as an attempt of semantical characterization of the architecture of agent societies.
