ABSTRACT<BR>
An approach for an interactive generation of multiagent infrastructures for dynamic scheduling and control architectures is presented. It consists in deriving a particular architecture's infrastructure having as base a generic architecture reference model. Such approach allows that a custom-taylored architecture's infrastructure be built and, at the same time, that a very flexible re-parameterization of the own derivation can be made with no damage for its infrastructure. The architecture's infrastructure is knowledge-based, open, distributed, flexible, integrated, and object-oriented. Some aspects concerned to a prototype implementation are also discussed.
