Human-Centric E-Business
Acts at speed over the electronic communication channel on behalf of human individuals or companies as their proxy; a program acting on behalf of another person, entity, or process. An intelligent software agent is an autonomous program that is capable of perceiving and interpreting data sensed from its environment, reflecting events in its environment, and taking actions to achieve given goals without permanent guidance from its user. Agents must have the intrinsic ability to communicate, cooperate, coordinate, negotiate, and learn, as well as have the capability to evolve through interactions with other agents. Agents can be standalone or part of a multi-agent system.
