Abstract

Belief that a particular software engineering paradigm is universal for all domains is an illusion and agent-oriented engineering is not an exception. This we have learned during the development of an agent-based Travel Support System. The system was developed as a distributed environment to provide user with personalized content helping in travel planning. In this article we focus on these issues of our systems, where agents fit and give practical alternatives, where they do not. We believe that lessons learned in our project generalize to other project involving utilization of agent technology.
