It examines the agent models and software tools used in this fabrication process. In particular, the paper concentrates upon the Agent Factory Visualiser (AFV) tool – a tool that supports the visualisation of agent communities through the Internet by way of a VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) tool. The functionality of this tool is then animated through a simple virtual robotic demonstrator.enVisualisingCommunitiesConference Publication2013-06-19https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
