Methodologies Can be mainly divided into two groups: „ Those that take inspiration from object-oriented development, and either extend existing OO methodologies or adapt OO methodologies to the purposes of AOSE ‰ AAII methodology (Kinny et al., 96) ‰ Gaia (Wooldridge et al., 00)

One of the important characteristics for intelligent agents is to be able to assess their environments in order to generate correct beliefs to make right decisions. It is always difficult to do so because many factors including uncertain information, knowledge and bounded time will affect intelligent agents to perceive their environments. In this paper, we propose a procedure descriptive framew...

We propose the software architecture of a new generation of advisory systems using Intelligent Agent and Semantic Web technologies. Multi-agent systems provide a well-suited paradigm to implement negotiation processes in consultancy situations. Intelligent software agents act as clients and advisors using their knowledge in order to assist human users. In the proposed architecture, the domain k...

Intelligent agents represent a new breed of software with significant potential for a wide range of Internet applications. They have been successfully used for personal assistants, intelligent user interfaces, and managing electronic mail. Recently, agents have been applied to electronic commerce, promising a revolution in the way we conduct business, whether business-to-business, business-to-c...

Explanation is an important capability for usable intelligent systems, including intelligent agents and cognitive models embedded within simulations and other decision support systems. Explanation facilities help users understand how and why an intelligent system possesses a given structure and set of behaviors. Prior research has resulted in a number of approaches to providing explanation capa...

In this paper we review some issues of research in intelligent agents, and particularly some logical theories that have been proposed in the literature to describe aspects of intelligent agents.
