Paper Abstract:
|
During the last decade Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are becoming more and more popular. One of the research
directions of ITS is agent and multi-agent system usage to build ITSs. Despite very intensive research in the agent-based
ITS field technologies for ITS development have several drawbacks. Firstly, systems are built without any structure and
consisting from large-scale agents, making their development complex. Secondly, reuse of agents is impossible and
implementation of changes into the developed systems is complicated due to the need to change existing large scale
agents. In this paper we propose open holonic agent architecture. The architecture eliminates the mentioned drawbacks by
introducing a holonic structure of relatively small agents. Any agent and holon can be easily added to the system,
removed from it and replaced with other agents or holons. |
