Soft computing agents

The paper introduces a new paradigm in the broad family of software agents. It is called soft computing agents (SCA) that combines the advantages of soft computing technology with the software agents paradigm as universal optimal resource allocation techniques. SCA is oriented to improve the quality of service QoS and endows intelligent agents with the ability to perceive, be aware, and perform sensitive to customers´ claims optimal actions. Primary definitions and axiomatics of SCA are introduced. The strategy of mobile SCA creation dedicated to a routing task has been developed. It comprises three types of SCAs: information, optimal routing, and inter-node interactive. These three types of SCA have been created for the solution of optimal routing tasks into Internet applications. The first, information SCA, is responsible for providing necessary information in all the nodes under some horizon under consideration. The second type performs optimization based on such gathered information. The third type, inter-node interactive SCA, is responsible for timely recover of the current states to every node into the horizon after every successive routing implementation
