Abstract :
Authors investigate implications of agent based software engineering and Internet environment in measurement practice. Measurement `minded´ expert agents and instrument-as-agent approach offer numerous advantages. However, this approach would require reconsideration of certain properties of the measuring equipment and the role of the system controller
