One of the main challenges for the successful application of agent-based systems in mobile and embedded devices is enabling application developers to reconcile the needs of the user to the capabilities and limitations of agents in the context of environments with changing and often limited resources. In this paper we present an attempt to move towards a solution through a framework for defining and reasoning about agents in a manner that is modular and reconfigurable at run-time. Departing from the theoretical basis afforded by the SMART framework, we extend it to enable the definition of fully re-configurable component-based agent architectures. The guiding principle of this approach is an architecturally-neutral model that supports a separation between the description, behaviour and structure of an agent. |
