Abstract
The paper presents an concept for the automatic authoring of augmented reality (AR) applications. The approach is based on software agents that provide different functions and content on demand for an AR application. Autonomous software agents encapsulate the specific functions of an AR application. It is distinguished between two kinds of software agents: So called provider-agents and user-agents. The user agent is configured by a human user, the provider-agent provides the functionality of an AR application. By communication and cooperation, provider and user agents form an AR application. The AR-based concept has been tested with the agent platform JADE.
