Abstract

This paper introduces the Agents Channeling ContExt Sensitive Services (ACCESS) architecture, an agent-based architecture that supports the development and deployment of context sensitive services. Specifically, ACCESS is comprised of two sub-systems: a run-time system that delivers the minimum functionality necessary to execute ACCESS Agents, and a development environment that delivers structured tool-based support for the creation, development, and visualization of u-commerce services.
