Abstract

In this chapter a generic broker agent architecture is introduced and designed in a principled manner using the compositional development method for multi-agent systems DESIRE. A flexible and easily adaptable agent architecture is implemented including automated support of the agents own maintenance. Therefore, the agent is not only easily adaptable, but it shows its adaptive behaviour to meet new requirements, supported by communication with a maintenance agent.
