Abstract :
The agent paradigm plays a central role in the modelling and the design of modern computer systems. Just like the systems -which they implement software agents have to be both controllable in their complexity and able to acquire new behaviours. This paper presents a model of open agent stemming from the systemic metaphor which has an architecture capable of integrating external behaviours into the agent, providing the entity with a physical opening on its environment.
