Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010043629A1] The invention relates to a method for developing a multi-agent system and to a multi-agent system, such as an automation and/or production system, comprising software and/or hardware components, the resources and functions of said components being represented and/or controlled through software agents, wherein each software agent has the capability of achieving goals through interaction with the environment and with other agents. In order to increase reconfigurability and flexibility, the resources and functions of the software agents are depicted as services, wherein each software agent, in order to achieve its own goals, calls up services of other software agents and offers its own resources and functions to other software agents as services.
