Abstract :
This paper presents a generic architecture for an agent capable of designing and creating new agents. The design agent is based on an existing generic agent model, and includes a model for design, in which strategic reasoning and dynamic management of requirements are explicitly modelled. The model includes an explicit formal representation of (1) requirements that can be formulated for agents and multi-agent systems, and (2) design object descriptions of a (part of a) multi-agent system
