At the University of Otago in New Zealand, researchers are trying to demonstrate
the benefits of using agents in the area of software tool integration, using
university course administration as an experimental domain. They are building
agent wrappers for existing tools such as a VMS-based central records system,
a dBase course database and various Delphi, DOS and Excel tools and applications
for retrieving and formatting information such as student marks. They are
using Java to write front-end programs for existing tools (such as Excel)
so that they can communicate with other agents. Amzi! Prolog is being used
in the heart of the facilitator agent to store information about other agents
and their capabilities and needs. The facilitator agent is key to the operation
of the system, because it is the center point where agents register the
services they have to offer and submit requests to find other agents to
perform particular services.
