A construction approach for software agents using components

This paper presents a construction approach for software agents. A software agent is regarded as a main frame plus some components, and it is constructed by selecting suitable main frame and software components, assembling and running through the control mechanism on the main frame. The multi-agent system is organised on the Client/Server model. The developed system based on this method profits from software reuse in the distributed environment.
