Peng Zhi · Computer Engineering and Science · 2005
There are many differences and many similarities and relationships between agent oriented and object oriented techniques. To absorb and use successful object oriented experiences and related mature techniques is very helpful for agent oriented research. This paper compares the conceptions and models of agent and object, and then contrasts agent oriented and object oriented operation mechanisms and communication mechanisms, analyzing the shortcomings of object oriented techniques and the advantages of agent oriented techniques.Finally the paper points out the agent oriented technique is the direction of software deveopment in the future.
