  abstract =	 {This paper describes how multiagent systems can be
                  used to achieve robust software, one of the major
                  goals of software engineering. The paper first
                  positions itself within the software engineering
                  domain. It then develops the hypothesis that robust
                  software can be achieved through redundancy, where
                  the redundancy is achieved by agents that have
                  di®erent algorithms but similar
                  responsibilities. The agents are produced by
                  wrapping conventional algorithms with a minimal set
                  of agent capabilities, which we specify. We describe
                  our initial experiments in verifying our hypothesis
                  and present results that show an improvement in
                  robustness due to redundancy. We conclude by
                  speculating on the implications of multiagent-based
                  redundancy for software development.},
