EJB based intelligent agents framework

Abstract

Intelligent agents play an important role in software engineering regarding their intensive employment in search and processing of information as well as in complex software products, tools and systems. This paper suggests a pluggable architecture of the hierarchical intelligent agents system with communication based on KQML. This framework supports pluggable software managers that are dealing with a particular job. Also, the problem of implementation techniques and environment for intelligent agents is considered. The EJB based implementation is proposed.
