Abstract

This paper presents an attempt to provide a framework for building agents by automatic assembly of software components; the assembly is directed by the organization of MAS in which the agent belongs. In the proposed model the social dimension of multi-agent system directs the agent depending on its location (according to roles) within the organization to assemble / reassemble the components in order to automatically reconfigure itself; the proposed construction of agent is independent of any component model.
