Abstract
This paper proposes an architecture for agents that are in charge of handling a given environment in an Ambient Intelligence context, ensuring suitable contextualized and personalized support to the user’s actions, adaptivity to the user’s peculiarities and to changes over time, and automated management of the environment itself. Functionality involves multi-strategy reasoning and learning, workflow management and service composition. In Multi-Agent Systems, different types of agents may implement different parts of this architecture.
