摘要
1.引言 Agent技术,特别是多Agent技术,为分布开放系统的分析、设计和实现提供了一种崭新的方法。著名的Agent理论研究者Jennings教授和Wooldridge博士甚至把它誉为是“软件开发的又一重大突破”。Agent技术已经被广泛应用到各个领域,从相对简单的个人电子邮件过滤器到复杂的空中交通控制、柔性制造系统(FMS)等大系统,都是Agent技术大显身手的地方。然而,在这些系统中。
After analyzing definitions and descriptions of agent from many reference materials, we discuss the main properties of agent, and present that the most fundamental properties of agent should be: reactive, autonomous , goal-oriented and environment-specified, therefore giving the definition of minimal agent. Based on these properties, we discuss the multi-agent system(MAS) and agent-based system(ABS). After giving many classifications of agent, we produce the property-based classification of agent- At last, we discuss the relationship between agent technology and others related fields such as AI, expert systems and object-oriented technology.
