Abstract: Software engineers continually strive to develop tools and techniques to manage the complexity that is inherent in software systems. In this article, we argue that intelligent agents and agent-based systems are just such tools. Following a discussion on the subject of what makes software complex, we introduce intelligent agents as software structures capable of making "rational decisions". Such rational decision-makers are well-suited to the construction of certain types of software, which... (Update)

.... Moreover, from a software engineering perspective, agents could be seen as a further improvement in software development technology [5], possibly aimed at replacing objects and components in complex software architectures; in particular when requirements are rapidly...

.... perspective, an agent is a system that exhibits properties like: situatedness, autonomy, reactivity, pro activeness, and social ability [42]. These properties allow an agent to perceive, reason, and act in their environment, and communicate with other agents [36] If a...
