Agent-based Solutions |
Multi-agent technology is a new way of designing software for complex business solutions. The modern business environment is dynamic and constantly changing, but customers expect their specific requirements to be met at the agreed service level. The Internet and mobile computing means that the majority of business processes are ‘always-on’ and increasingly interconnected.
Agent based solutions are designed to handle complex and changing environments, where there are potentially multiple options and outcomes at each stage of the process. Multi-agent systems can offer measurable business benefit for many organisations. An approach to software applications designed for flexibility and adaptability in the face of constantly changing business scenarios.
Agents are software programs running on a system or network and implemented to achieve a goal or purpose. They are designed to be autonomous in the pursuit of their goal, but capable of interacting with other agents, either collaboratively or in competition. This means that groups of agents can work together, each carrying out their own plans and functions. This provides a powerful technique for designing software applications for complex or distributed business processes.
Agent software has been used successfully in a number of industries including:
- Supply chains and logistics
- Manufacturing
- Telecommunications
- Financial services
