Abstract
Developing a reusable model of high quality requires consideration of the full development life cycle of an agent-based system. In this paper, we discuss an approach based on the Gaia methodology for describing and designing a service model for a personal information manager based on the agent-oriented paradigm. The proposed model is shown to be complete, scalable, independent of specific development frameworks, and supportive of a high degree of autonomous behavior. The extensibility of the model is shown by elaborating the original model to support speech recognition and calendar scheduling based on user preferences and learning from history.
