Agent-based and software composite DDSS

Abstract

Agent-based systems are an increasingly prevalent issue in artificial intelligence (AI), and their application to distributed decision support systems (DDSSs) operating over the Internet is a potentially valuable contribution. This paper proposes an approach to DDSSs using multiple agents to coordinate decision support: agent-based DDSSs (ABDDSSs). The architecture of individual agents involved in such a system are discussed, and a particular agent organization is analyzed with a view to applying this technology to DDSSs.
