This chapter has two parts. In Part I, we present an overview of issues in modeling Multi Agent Systems (MAS), discuss what features and components are required for a MAS infrastructure, and present a model of a generic infrastructure. In addition, we present RETSINA as an example of an implemented MAS infrastructure. In Part II, we present issues in agent and service discovery and interoperation through a set of domain independent active and intelligent registries, called middle agents.
