Abstract

Software agents are often seen as “intelligent, autonomous software components.” Interestingly, the question of efficient implementation of “intelligence” remains open. In this paper we discuss, in some details, the process of implementing software agents with “brains.” In the context of an agent system supporting decisions of glider pilots, we consider native implementation of “intelligent” behaviors, rule based engines, and semantic data processing. Based on the analysis of the state-of-the-art in these areas, we present a novel approach combining rule based engines, semantic data processing and software agents.
