Abstract
The component-based design of software systems has long been recognised in the realm of software engineering as a method for building highly adaptable and maintainable software systems. This paper explores the principles behind software agent-orientated frameworks and the component-based design of software agents. The ideas and principles discussed are then used in the introduction of our AgentAssembly framework and its application to the component-based construction of TeleAgents.
