ABSTRACT
Roles represent a powerful means to enable software agents to act in open environments. They can be implemented in different ways, and in this talk I will show two directions exploiting Java. The former one is quite traditional and exploits composition; the latter one adds the capabilities of roles to agents' classes in form of injected bytecode. I will compare the two approaches trying to generalize the considerations.
