Abstract :
We propose Flage, a language for building software modules (agents) which adapt to a change of environment in an open distributed system. Environments are defined as multiple agents and specifications which consist of constraints for cooperation among the agents. Flage provides a description of environments by the notion of agents and fields. We describe the concept of Flage and the adaptation technique
