Features of Software Agents

1) Background-Supporting Information: It includes the type of data the agent understands, the languages that it can understand, and so on. 

2) Owner (Parent Process Name, or Master Agent Name): Agents can have many owners. Humans can spawn agents, processes can spawn agent (such as stock brokerage processes using agents to monitor prices), or other agents can spawn their own digital assistants. 

3) Author (Development Owner, Service, or Master Agent Name): Intelligent agent may be created by people or processes and then supplied as templates for users to personalise. This information is necessary for debugging the agent code if anything goes wrong. 

4) Lifetime (Time to Live (TTL)): Some agent might exist only for a short duration and die after some task is completed. Other might live longer. 

5) Account (Billing Information, Electronic Addresses): Agent must have an anchor to an owner's account and an address for billing purposes or as a pointer to their origin. The agents must be charged for services so that scarce resources can be used effectively. For this purpose, links to the owner's account are essential.

6) Goal (Goal Statements Representing the Measures for Success): Crisp statements of successful agent task completion will be necessary, as well as metrics for determining the task's completion and the value of the return. Measures of success may include simple completion of a transaction within the boundaries of the stated goal or a more complex of returned information. 

7) Subject Description (Topic Name, Topic Description Attributes): The subject description will detail the goal's attributes. These attributes will provide the boundaries of the agent task, possible resources to call on, and class of need (such as stock purchase, airline price, decrease notification, and so on). These descriptors can be interrogated by the servers, which can then make a decision whether to service the agent or refuse service to it.

EDI Maturity Model

The development of EDI within an organisation or a trade sector goes through a number of stages. Saxena and Wagenaar suggest a three stage EDI maturity model as a part of a three-way analysis of EDI development in organisations, trade sectors and nations.  Figure 2.20 shows the concept of EDI maturity with a six-stage maturity model, and links it to the opportunities for competitive advantage. The stages of EDI development as represented in the model are:  Stage 1:Discovery : The first stage in EDI development is the discovery stage. Discovery can be by an organisation choosing to adopt EDI to gain competitive advantage or to solve an administrative problem.  Stage 2: Introductory : This stage requires investment hardware and software but, atleast significant, will be the time commitment in establishing the parameters of the electronic trading relationship. This stage, on its own, does not result in any cost saving or efficiency gain. there are direct costs in computer ...
