Abstract
Software agent technology is a rapidly developing area of research. Application domains in which agent solutions are being applied or researched into include workflow management, telecommunications network management, air traffic control, business process re-engineering, data mining, information retrieval/management, electronic commerce, education, personal digital assistants (PDAs), e-mail filtering, digital libraries, command and control, smart databases, and scheduling/ diary management. Indeed, as Guilfoyle (1995) notes: in 10 years time most new IT development will be affected, and many consumer products will contain embedded agent-based systems.

Artificial IntelligenceIntelligence without representation
4,625 Citations1991Rodney A. Brooks

277 Citations1987Edmund H. Durfee, Victor Lesser +1 more
Three mechanisms that improve network coherence are described that provide an organizational structure that provides a long-term framework for network coordination to guide each node's local control decisions; a planner at each node that develops sequences of problem-solving activities based on the current situation; and meta-level communication about the current state of local problem solving that enables nodes to dynamically refine the organization.

132 Citations2000Steve Appleby, S. Steward
Distributed control can, in principle, have advantages in terms of speed of response and robustness over centralised control, but these benefits are not realised automatically and distribution of control can also result in sub-optimal performance since global information is not normally available to each controlling process.
