AGENT SOFWARE
The term agent has been used in computer science for more tan a decade, and it means a lot of different things to a lot of intelligent people. In its simplest form, an agent is apiece of software that does something for you. But, by this definition, wizards, assistants, and even spell-checkers have been called agents.
Agents have automated repetitive tasks. On the internet,agents were first used to catalog millions of pages of content. Search engines such as Lycos have used spider agents to handle the tedious tasks of searching the entire Web. Intelligent software willpersonalize teh web and make it work for you. Perzonalized content delivering just what you want-is the goal of many agent technologies. Agents have taken advantage of certain technologies from the 1980that were never successful. Such technologies, namely artificial intelligence (AI) and expert systems had failed to provide solutions to computer techonology problems. Unlike al techonlogy that triedto make computers think like people, collaborative filtering applies human thought a database of user preferences to ítems with extraordinary power of prediction.
You can classify agentes into twogroup: by where the agents reside ande where they do their work. Anchored agents do most of their work on either the client side or on the server side. Your browser and automated browser sessions arerun alogside agent programs. Mobile agents move themselves from server to server to find what they need. They are executing programs that carry their state information with them making themselvesself-contained.
