Most methodologies for developing software agents focus at design phase. The proposed notion of dynamically generating multiagent systems (MASs) from user-defined specifications (called "missions" in our approach) is somewhat unorthodox and introduces a new paradigm in MASs development and usage, concentrating on run-time phase. In the dynamic MASs agents are created on- demand at run-time with different functionalities depending on the objectives of the mission. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a way for evaluating MASs at run-time. Performance evaluation of eHermes - the dynamic MAS generator/constructor - is then presented and analyzed.
