Abstract

This paper presents the trends and directions of future agent design. These trends focus on advances in Agent-Oriented programming techniques and describe how agent technologies have developed with increasingly sophisticated techniques. The paper traces the origins of agent technology and describes related principles, especially those that reflect heavily on “Intelligence with Interaction”. This interaction, especially with operator-in-the-loop scenarios, is demonstrated as a critical component of modern Distributed Artificial intelligence. Unfortunately many applications fail to address this fact, creating an interruption to ongoing research. Therefore we believe the next generation of agent systems should focus on human centric interaction to achieve a level of shared- intelligence made possible with modern computational techniques.
