In this context, we detail two main components of the architecture, namely: the AES (Agent Execution System) and the AEE (Agent Execution Environment). For both of them we describe their main concepts, data structures and interfaces. We also propose a set of characteristics that we believe will also be present in the next-generation AES, such as: independence between AES and AEE, ie, support to multi- ...

The Agent pattern provides a clean and easy way to develop agent-based applications, mainly in open and large-scale distributed environments such as the Internet and application areas such as Electronic Commerce. The Agent pattern encapsulates a business specific class (a specialization of the Agent class), with some user identification and a specific security policy, providing distribution, security and persistence transparency. Furthermore, this paper presents a detailed application of this pattern in the AgentSpace framework, as well as a brief application to the Telescript and Aglets Workbench.
