Open Giant Intelligent Information Systems and Its Agent-Oriented Abstraction Mechanism

As a new science of complex intelligent information systems, an open giant intelligent information system is a special kind of complex software systems. In this paper, we first presented conception and complexities of open giant intelligent information system, and then we discussed the challenges of agent-based computing for dealing with the above systems’ software complexities. For the facts of limitations of the mainstream agentoriented abstraction, a new abstraction mechanism, which is empirically recounted in terms of four aspects – methodology of agent-oriented abstraction, artificial multi-agent society, agent society frameworks and component patterns, and social interactions, is introduced for agent-oriented open giant intelligent information systems.
