Some methods and auxiliary platforms/tools have been proposed to design and develop Self-Adaptive Systems (SASs).However, these methods and tools ignore how to turn existing systems to SASs.Therefore, the paper proposes a multiagentbased toolkit for adding self-adaptive abilities to the existing systems.With the Agent Packager and Rule Designer in it, existing systems are transformed into Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), without modifying codes.Based on the Supporting Platform in MABT, MAS run normally and achieves self-adaption with both Global and Local approach.
