Intelligent Software Agent Technology: An Overview

Mobile Agent is an autonomously transportable code migrating itself from one node to another in a heterogeneous network without losing its operability. They have become commercially practicable with recent technologies and have the potential for revolutionizing distributed and network applications more recently in wireless sensor networks and bioinformatics. The main aim of this study is to mot...

Software Agent Technologies 1

It is by now a cliché that there is no one, universally accepted definition of intelligent agent technology, but a number loosely related techniques. And yet there are certain themes that appear common to agent-based systems, and correspondingly, certain problems that must be addressed and overcome by all agent system builders. The aim of this paper is to briefly survey the tools and techniques...

Technology Diffusion: the Case of Agent Technologies

Despite several examples of deployed agent systems, there remain barriers to the large-scale adoption of agent technologies. In order to understand these barriers, this paper considers aspects of marketing theory which deal with diffusion of innovations and their relevance to the agents domain and the current state of diffusion of agent technologies. In particular, the paper examines the role o...

Communications Systems Driven by Software Agent Technology Communications Systems Driven by Software Agent Technology

The application of software agent technology to the management of communications’ infrastructures is a challenging domain as it requires management on different time scales and has many interacting components. This paper looks at the potential benefits that may be gained from the application of agent technology to communications systems and surveys recent developments. Recent work using distrib...
