Formalizing the Reusability of Software Agents of software. The leading edge of such a research is component-based software engineering. This paper reviews agents and multiagent systems from the point of view of reusability and it provides a formalization of reusability that exploits some very basic agent-oriented concepts. In particular, we mo

Agents are sophisticated software artefacts, associated with a large number of features and therefore Agent-Based System (ABS) engineering methodologies involve considerable design complexity. This paper proposes a framework to evaluate ABS engineering methodologies against a number of

As a?result, agents may become unavailable and some roles may be left unfilled (thereafter called missing roles). Unfortunately, there are not always backup agents ready to replace unavailable ones. In this case, the MAS must reorganize itself in or

In this work we describe our experiences in the identification, production and application of patterns for agents. Some patterns are described together with the classification criteria and documentation approach we adopt. Upon them, we
