However, these modules and the communication between them may vary from project to project. Therefore, a general middleware instead of several specialized middlewares for each domain is desired. This paper presents the ACONA Framework (Agent-based Complex Network Architecture). It is an agent-based middleware with a lightweight and flexible infrastructure. Also, it offers the possibility of evolutionary programming. Its performance is demonstrated in three applications: (i) A cognitive architecture with around 40 interconnected modules; (ii) a stock market simulator with elements of evolutionary programming; and (iii) an industry 4.0 application of a conveyor belt. %G English %Z TC 12 %Z WG 12.5 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-02331297/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-02331297/file/483292_1_En_47_Chapter.pdf %L hal-02331297 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-02331297 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC12 %~ IFIP-AIAI %~ IFIP-WG12-5 %~ IFIP-AICT-559
