Abstract
Agreement technologies and adaptive systems have arisen as promising mechanisms to design open dynamic multi-agent systems where there may be complex interactions and environmental conditions may frequently change. In this paper, we propose a development framework whose goal is to ease the deployment of adaptive techniques and agreement technologies in the soccer simulation domain. The framework provides a middleware that abstracts researchers from simulation details, thus they can focus on the particular study of their algorithms. Moreover, we analyze the soccer domain to identify how the types of adaptation and agreement technologies found in the literature are also present in the domain.
