Summary
The subject of the paper is the discussion of monitoring issues in multi-agent systems, and particularly, the infrastructure that should be built into an agent platform, so that its use would not bring much trouble to the designer. In the course of the paper two cases are considered depending on the kind of core MAS infrastructure applied: information-intensive and computational systems. For each case some general remarks on how to build a monitoring subsystem are presented as well as a more detailed description of a particular prototype realisation is given.
