Abstract :
We present a short review of the concepts of agent and cognitive agent. Our examples often involve agents in highway traffic models. We examine functionality & performance requirements of cognitive agents. We propose the architecture of an application independent software implementation of a generic cognitive agent able of providing the required functionality and performance. We suggest various computational intelligence methodologies for giving the proposed cognitive agent learning abilities.
