Title
Software Agents as Cloud Computing Services
Abstract
The community devoted to the agency theory needs to create practical solutions capable of representing users in the virtual societies which are emerging as a result of Internet. Cloud Computing has precisely succeeded as a model able to bring software solutions to users in a practical and transparent manner. To foster the adoption of agent-based solutions by the users, this paper describes a model where software agents figure as a new Cloud Computing service which would represent clients in virtual environments. We discuss the challenges that entail the proposal, the technologies necessary for its implementation and finally we develop a proof of concept to confirm its viability.
