Abstract: Conclusion Builders of agents and agent systems have many tools and techniques to choose from. The functionality of some of these tools (alone or in combination) certainly looks promising enough to the extent that synergy can be expected to occur. There are however some practical challenges relating to performance issues. One of them occurs when agent mobility wants to be exploited: there is a trade-off between the functionality (which directly relates to the size of the agent) and the costs (e.g. speed of transfer and execution). Other issues include the level of collaboration that can be achieved with a particular user interface model and the possibility to use user modelling to streamline agent-human interaction.
