Abstract
To enable computer literate people who don't know how to program in a "usual" programming language to build their own personal software agents, a new method of composing software agents is presented. An agent is defined by building a so-called attribute-tree, which also serves as the runtime representation of the agent program. The implicitly contained application-logic of an attribute-tree is analyzed and executed by a special runtime-environment, called the "MetaBus". The MetaBus is an XML-based lightweight distributed infrastructure which can be used as a "piggyback system" for existing and future IT environments. It allows software agents to utilize nearly all kinds of existing IT-services.
