Abstract
The paper deals with a specific class of multi-agent systems, in principle similar to evolutionary algorithms, but utilising a more complex, since decentralised, model of evolution. The proposed layered architecture uses the notion of a profile that models strategies and goals of an agent with respect to some aspect of its operation. The paper presents main ideas of the architecture illustrated by a concrete realisation that is an evolutionary multi-agent system solving a generic optimisation problem.
