Abstract :
How to implement software agent is a key problem for developing agent-oriented programming languages and tools. Aiming to solve this problem based on the OO technology, this paper first discusses differences between agent and object, and then puts forward an implemental architecture of software agent based on the OO technology and a simplified improvement of the BDI agent model. An OO-based design framework of software agent is also proposed by using the POAD method finally. These research results are helpful to clarify how to suitably extend the OO method for solving the key problem
