Implementing an agent system using N-tier pattern-based framework
William Cheng‐Chung Chu, Juez-Nan Chen, Chun-Yuan Lee, Yang Hongji · 2002
Agent technology is becoming increasingly important because of its generality, flexibility, and modularity. Moreover, design patterns and software architectures are attracting attention in object-oriented software development. The authors propose a framework for an agent system, which is based on N-tier architecture and design patterns. A negotiation agent system is presented to show the feasibility of applying this framework.
