Design and Implementation of Intelligent Agent Shell

It is of great interest to develop a framework containing a library of the main building blocks of common use to agent developers. This framework would save much of the routine work that is needed to build most types of intelligent agents. The present paper presents the design and the implementation of an agent development library. This library uses service oriented architecture, and exposes the functionality of the implemented blocks in the form of a set of XML web services. The use of XML web services makes agent development platform independent, and programming language independent. The major block that is developed in this paper is the most common artificial neural networks structures. The developed system is used to the control the power generated from a photovoltaic module to deliver its maximum power as a test case. The system is also tested with simple clients of different types: web client, windows client, and mobile client.
