abstract = {This work proposes a way to model the structure and
behaviour of agents in terms of executable coloured
Petri net protocols. Structure and behaviour are not
all aspects of agent based computing: agents need a
world to live in (mostly divided into platforms), they
need a general structure (e.g. including a standard
interface for communication) and their own special
behaviour. Our approach tackles all three parts in
terms of Petri nets. This paper skips the topic of
agent platforms and handles the agent structure briefly
to introduce a key concept of our work: the graphical
modelling of the behaviour of autonomous and adaptive
agents. A special kind of coloured Petri nets is being
used throughout the work: reference nets. Complex agent
behaviour is achieved via dynamic composition of
simpler sub-protocols, a task that reference nets are
especially well suited for. The inherent concurrency of
Petri nets is another point that makes it easy to model
agents: multiple threads of control are (nearly)
automatically implied in Petri nets.},
