Agents - 2
A useful way to view an agent is to view what an agent is not.
Compared to Objects:
- Agents are more autonomous than objects,
- Agents have flexible behaviour: reactive, proactive, social.
- Agents have at least one thread of control but may have more.
Compared to Expert Systems:
- Expert systems are not coupled to their environment;
- Expert systems are not designed for reactive, proactive behaviour.
- Expert systems do not consider social ability
