A large number of research and industrial projects could benefit from a
module-based development. However, these modules and the communication
between them may vary from project to project. Therefore, a general
middleware instead of several specialized middlewares for each domain is
desired. This paper presents the ACONA Framework (Agent-based Complex
Network Architecture). It is an agent-based middleware with a
lightweight and flexible infrastructure. Also, it offers the possibility
of evolutionary programming. Its performance is demonstrated in three
applications: (i) A cognitive architecture with around 40 interconnected
modules; (ii) a stock market simulator with elements of evolutionary
programming; and (iii) an industry 4.0 application of a conveyor belt.
