Abstract
Currently there are many intelligent agent models in different design methodologies, from simple models of embedded agents to powerful and complex models for virtual organizations. However, although many of these agent models provide a number of components to solve different types of problems, few of them provides abstractions or concepts that allow to consider how to deal with dynamic environments at the design level, (an environment that changes itself in terms of resources available, global behavioural rules, etc.) In this work, we propose two abstractions that provide the developer with a new way of modeling reactive agent capabilities in dynamic environments. The first abstraction focuses on how to process the environmental stimuli as events, and the second abstraction specifies how to launch tasks in response to events, an approach that is based on event-condition-action rules.
