Agents, Services, and Market - How do they Integrate. Michael
Merz. The paper focuses on the aspect of extending COSM - a flexible
CORBA-DII-based Client/Server infrastructure - in order to serve as an
agent platform. Petri nets are used as a control flow specification
for agents. 11/4/95
- General Magic announced the Open Telescript Initiative and
has released the Telescript
Development Environment (TDE) which is free and can be downloaded
via the web. They say " Telescript is an
object-oriented, remote programming language. It is a platform that
enables the creation of active, distributed network
applications. There are three simple concepts to the language: agents,
places and "go". Agents "go" to places, where they interact with other
agents to get work done on a user's behalf. Agents are in fact mobile
programs capable of transporting themselves from place to place in a
Telescript network. The language is implemented by the Telescript
engine. The Telescript engine is a multitasking interpreter that
integrates onto an operating system through a programming interface
called the Telescript API. The Telescript engine is a server
implementation."
