Abstract

In this paper we outline a multi-layered distributed agent ontology for providing system modelling support to practitioners and problem solvers at four levels, namely, clerical, tool (technology), optimization and task level respectively. We outline how the ontology facilitates the development of human-centered soft computing systems. The ontology has been applied in a range of areas including alarm processing, web mining, image processing, sales recruitment and medical diagnosis. We also outline the definition of agents in different layers of the ontology.
