Abstract :
This paper analyzes the methods of constructing agent society and points out a bottom-up approach should be adopted in dynamic realtime applications. The cross point of combination of agents and society is discussed. Based on the above work, an architecture of liberal open agent society is presented which places service in the center of the solution. According to this paper, services are divided into three levels: business-level services, product-level services and application-level services. This division increases reusability, flexibility and usability of service components. Finally, a formal model of liberal open agent society is presented.
