Multi-agent systems are used in domains where individual component autonomy and cooperation are necessary. The overall system performance requires that the diverse agents maintain quality interactions to facilitate cooperation. A complication to inter-agent interaction occurs when the agents learn (change their own functionality), when new agents are introduced, or existing agents are functionally modified. This research focuses on creating a general use multi-agent system, Middleware Unifying Framework for Independent Nodes System (MUFFINS), and implementing a mechanism, the Megagent, that addresses the interaction challenges. The Megagent provides the ability for agents to assess their performance per data source and to improve it with transformations based on feedback.
