Abstract
In this paper we present the basic design philosophy of the Bond agent system, the multi-plane agent model and the component-based architecture implementing the model. We discuss several applications of Bond agents: resource discovery, an adaptive video service, a workflow management system, a system of agents for remote monitoring of web servers, and a network of PDE solvers.
