In this paper we present a Multi-Agent System (MAS) paradigm and discuss how it can be used to design intelligent and distributed systems. The main features of this MAS, such as natural distribution of the system, inherent intelligence of its agents, and their mobility help address a large scope of distributed applications including the domain of ambient intelligence. Other features of the MAS, like multi-agent planning, context-awareness and adaptation are also very useful since they bring added value, by allowing to implement intelligent and collective behavior. The paper also presents a scenario of ambient intelligence and shows how it could be designed using the MAS paradigm.
