Cites methods from "Software agents: an overview"
...While we assume the classical AI definition of software agent, that is, a software having properties such as autonomy, social ability, reactivity, proactivity, as given, for instance in [24], in Tropos we define a role as an abstract characterization of the behavior of a social actor within some specialized context or domain of endeavor, and a position BRESCIANI ET AL....

These ‘macro’ aspects of agents as Gasser (1991) terms them, emphasises the society of agents over individual agents, while micro issues relate specifically to the latter. In any case, such issues are well summarised in Chaib-draa et al. (1992), Bond & Gasser (1988) and Gasser & Huhns (1989)....

...Hayes-Roth’s (1995) integrated architecture for intelligent agents consists of two layers: the physical layer which performs perception-action coordination, i.e. it senses, interprets, filters and reacts to the dynamic environment in which the agent is embedded; the cognitive layer receives perceptual input from the physical controller to construct an evolving model, and to perform interpretation, reasoning and planning....
