| Abstract: | The current state of the art in agent technology sees that
several implementations of agent frameworks exist. However,
there is little agreement on the terms and concepts
used to describe such systems, which is a significant barrier
towards adoption of these technologies by industry, military
and commercial entities. A clear definition of terms and
concepts at an appropriate level of abstraction is needed
to facilitate discussion, evaluation and adoption of these
emerging agent technologies. In this paper, we argue that a
reference model for agent-based systems can fill this need.
We discuss what a reference model is and why one is needed
for agent-based systems. While the complete model is a
work in progress, we present a preliminary version to motivate
further discussion from the agents community at large.
It is our hope that ultimately a wider community of practice
will assume responsibility for the standardization similar
to the way that the well-known seven-layer Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) reference model was a driving force
underlying communications standards. |
