Abstract
This chapter presents the conceptual and technical prerequisites [110], [111], for agent communication and agent management. Motivated [114], [116] by a reviewof the state of the art in this field and filtered by demands made by AuReCon, own contributions to the logical and physical foundations of agent communication and existence are detailed. They include general agent interaction protocols based on speech acts and modeled by algebraic Petri nets, a scalable system architecture built up from socalled workspaces and a brief discussion of suitable off-the-shelf technology for multi-agent system infrastructure.
