The agent systems reference model (ASRM) is a layered, abstract description for multiagent systems. As such, the reference model
- provides a taxonomy of terms, concepts and definitions to compare agent systems;
- identifies functional elements that are common in agent systems;
- captures data flow and dependencies among the functional elements in agent systems; and
- specifies assumptions and requirements regarding the dependencies among these elements.
The ASRM differentiates itself from technical standards, such as Knowledge Interchange Format, Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language, and those of the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents in that it defines the required existence of components of a multiagent system; standards prescribe how they are designed.

“Only a fully trained Jedi knight with the Force as his ally will conquer Vader and his emperor. If you end your training now—if you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did—you will become an agent of evil.”

—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“In sum, all actions and habits are to be esteemed good or evil by their causes and usefulness in reference to the commonwealth, and not by their mediocrity, nor by their being commended. For several men praise several customs, and, contrarily, what one calls vice, another calls virtue, as their present affections lead them.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“When Titian was mixing brown madder,
His model was posed up a ladder.
Said Titian, “That position
Calls for coition,”
So he lept up the ladder and had her.”
