An enhanced mechanism for agent capability reuse
Pages 115 - 123
Abstract
Existing research work on intelligent agents is facing the challenge of extending agent capabilities. One of major difficulties of applying intelligent agents in various software platforms lies in that generalized agent design models may not fit with specified organizational applications. This problem dramatically hampers the practical applications of intelligent agents. In this paper we point out several aspects that might affect the development of agent-based technology; and further address the information reuse and unification issues through suggesting an enhanced agent capability reuse mechanism, which is able to provide an efficient process for agent capability reuse. The proposed design can fulfill the needs for a dynamic agent environment.
