In this paper, we present Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) as a well-adapted paradigm for designing software for the configuration, deployment and monitoring of distributed applications in the domain of Ambient Intelligence (AmI). We show how privacy is enhanced by hiding information using the agent architecture and organisation. We introduce privacy policies that can allow or prevent the sharing of resource information. This results in privacy by design.
