A Research Agenda for the Days of Software Agents
|
Abstract: There is an ongoing paradigm shift in Software Engineering from object-orientation to agent-orientation. We review some of the reasons for this, and briefly overview the state-of-the-art in Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE). We then sketch some threads of long-term research and -- where available -- present preliminary results from our own work. The research reported is the result of collaborations with colleagues at the Universities of Toronto, Trento and a number of other academic institutions.
