Abstract

This paper presents a middleware based on an agent model for supporting reactive agents that can change their behavior in order to evolve with time based on the accomplish of active norm defined into a dynamic normative model. This middleware named Agent Dynamic EvoLutionary at runtimE (ADELE) was developed on a Java platform using the JADE framework. ADELE middleware allows developing dynamic multi-agent systems applicable to ubiquitous applications where environments are highly dynamic. Our approach includes metaprogramming mechanisms which enable agents to be able to evolve through a behavior injection (on the fly) at runtime, instead of killing agents which probably can be implicated in other processes and cannot be interrupted to prevent problems to the entire system.
