 Founding information: This work is partially sponsored by the Natural Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province, China (M603245, Y106469), and National high tech research and development plan (863plan):2007AA01Z105-05 Abstract—Using software agents as next generation flexible components and applying reuse technologies to rapidly construct agents and agent systems have great promise to improve application and system construction. The increasing complexity of software has made it necessary to reuse software. Reuse has increased the reliability of software applications and made it efficient to develop and maintain current software. An Intelligent componentoriented software development approach, which emphasizes the design and construction of software systems by using reusable components, is an effective approach to the software development. Combining the advantages of agentoriented and component-oriented methods, it aims to create more flexible, reusable and customizable agent components in future. An agent component-based architecture is proposed and a concrete application system is described to illustrate the method and process of applying the architecture
