In certain circumstances, humans have to take decisions when time and knowledge is limited. Judgments made under such constrains are considered by cognitive psychology as boundedly rational. The research presented in this paper is rooted in and dedicated to the post-industrial (service-based) society, and aims at: a) revisiting the concept of bounded rationality (BR), in view of its roles in a service-based society; b) substantiating the ambivalence of BR, cognitive limitation and IT guiding principle within the agent-orientation paradigm; c) addressing BR as tool for approximating and measuring quality of provided services, with concern on "JIT" and tailored image transmission. To ensure the qualitative validation soundness, the application field chosen is "Visual pattern recognition". We present an experimental model of a complex service to be provided (from a holistic perspective, within a user-centred application) by a system with an interface agent for open, dynamic and uncertain environments.
