This paper describes how multiagent systems can be used to achieve robust software. The paper develops the hypothesis that robust software can be achieved through redundancy, where agents that have different algorithms but similar responsibilities provide the redundancy. Wrapping conventional algorithms with a minimal set of agent capabilities, which we specify, produces the agents. We show that the same wrapper can be used for a variety of algorithms. We describe our initial experiments in verifying our hypothesis and present results that demonstrate an improvement in robustness due to redundancy.
