Abstract

The aim of this short paper is to present a new agent architecture called the systemion model. Its purpose is to allow the construction of agents ( called systemions ) able to execute several different tasks in their life. This architecture relies on – a classification of properties associated to the agents in two separate groups : qualities and attributes – a clear distinction between the task the agent must do and the agent characteristics which are independent from this task.
