In this paper, we present MadKit (multi-agent development kit), a generic multi-agent platform. This toolkit is based on a organizational model. It uses concepts of groups and roles for agents to manage different agent models and multi-agent systems at the same time, while keeping a global structure. We discuss the architecture of MadKit, based on a minimalist agent kernel decoupled from specific agency models. Basic services like distributed message passing, migratio n or monitoring are provided by platform agents for maximal flexibility. The componential interface model allows varia tions in platform appearance and classes of usage. We illustrate this approach by explaining some consequences of the architecture and describe our motivation for MadKit design: integration of heterogeneous agent applica tions, reuse of agent social structure patterns, and versat ility of the application platform. A summary is given of some MadKit-based applications to date. 1 Introdu tion 1.1 The heterogeneity issue
