Abstract
This paper presents preliminary results of two [complimentary] research projects in progress at ITESM: Intelligent Multiagent Systems, and the Virtual University Definition. The implementation of the latter [Espinosa95b] [Espinosa95c] requires the merger of the former, plus an Implementation Technology: Java. A practical, but theoretically sound approach to the implementation of the skill acquisition and learning measurement model described in [Boumedine96a] [Espinosa96a] is thus presented. A multiplatform programming project shows us how multidisciplinary research may allow us to merge [traditionally] incompatible fields of study such as Psychology, Cognition and Artificial Intelligence, by placing Agents within the realm of a Higher Education context, describing the epistemological implications of such an Agent characterization, by identifying particular behavior patterns which may be measured qualitatively and quantitatively, and by making a case study out of a Virtualized Datastractures course.
