Mobile business agents model and architecture

Abstract

Agent-component technology and agent-oriented software engineering have the potential to be more powerful than traditional. Most agent and e-service systems offer several capacities that work together to provide unprecedented flexibility and promise to be more effective at handling the resulting software's evolution and distribution. Therefore, in order to support agent service or agent based business application and system there is the necessity of research about agent development based component. In this paper, we identify and classify the general and e-business oriented agent affecting CBD. We suggest the e-business agent oriented component reference architecture. We also propose systemical development process using AUML(Agent Unified Modeling Language) and design pattern technology to analysis, design and develop e-business agent. Finally we describe how these concepts may assist in increasing the efficiency and reusability in business application and e-business agent development. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
