Abstract :In this paper, we present a load-sharing approach based on the refactoring of agents. According to our approach, the roleinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(s); that makes an agent overloaded is identified and transferred to less loaded agents. The excess workload of this heavily loaded agent is then transferred to the new agent. This approach defines a new agent, called the ``monitor agent,`` which monitors the workload of agents in the organization and decides about the refactoring of the agents. The monitor agent uses the platform ontology, which explicitly describes the components of the agent organization, including agents and their roles, plans, and workloads. This ontology is updated by the monitor agent in every monitor cycle.
