Abstract
The purpose of this research is to define autonomous software agents, and describe a general framework for the use of agents in decision support systems (DSS). Because definitions of software agents extant in the literature are divergent, we develop and provide a descriptive definition useful for our purpose. The benefits of agents and the particular characteristics of agents leading to DSS enrichment are examined. To facilitate this we build a DSS, described elsewhere in the literature, and enhance it with different types of autonomous software agents. From this experience, a general framework for agent-enabled DSS is suggested.
