Agents are software systems which perceive their environment and act in pursuit of their goals. Agents integrate a range of (often relatively shallow) competences, e.g., goals and reactive behaviour, planning, inference and emotion.

As such they are central to the study of many problems in Artificial Intelligence, including modelling human mental capabilities and performing complex tasks (e.g., those combining perception, planning, and opportunistic plan execution).

Agent systems are also increasingly being adopted as an implementation technology in areas such as advanced simulation and ubiquitous computing.
