Abstract

In this paper we describe the AgentStore, a mechanism and tool to support reuse by enabling users and developers to share, search and deploy agents. Web- and API-based interactions allow the integration in the common workflow of developers of multi-agent systems. In this work, we set a high value on socialising the agent developer, not the agents.
