一种按需装配的Agent

Assemble-on-Demand Agent

引言 近年来,智能体Agent的理念在很多研究领域都得到了相当的重视,有关的研究工作方兴未艾.随着研究工作的不断深入,出现了很多基于Agent的系统,虽然绝大多数还处于研发和实验阶段,但也出现了部分相对成熟的商业系统.例如General Magic公司的Odyssey系统就已经作为商业软件进入市场,运行在Sony,Motorola,AT&T等公司的PDA产品中,并取得了较好的发展[1].

In most Agent-based systems,the abilities of Agents are unchangeable.The Agent's abilities can't change anymore since it has been created. This pattern restricts the flexibility of the Agent,especially in distributed and dynamic environment. To avoid the restriction,assemble-on-demand Agent that can assemble new component in run time to enhance its abilities,is presented in this paper. The properties,behavior,architecture,and correlative key techniques of assemble-on-demand Agent are expatiated. Furthermore,experiment based on Aglets is presented in the paper.
