AgentScape is a middleware layer that supports large-scale agent systems. The rationale behind its architecture is to provide a platform for large-scale agent systems, support multiple code bases and operating systems, and interoperability with other agent platforms.

The AgentScape middleware is part of the software framework that is used at D-CIS Lab to support research on actor-agent communities, providing agent-application developers with an environment to quickly develop and deploy large applications.

AgentScape was created in the early 2000s at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and is currently maintained and developed by D-CIS Lab in partnership with the TUDelft, NLnet foundation, UK universities of Bath, Warwick, and Cardiff, and the Book Depository.
