Modelling of knowledge intensive computerised systems based on capability-oriented agent theory (COAT)

We present a new theory and claims that it plays the core role in better management of the complexity in knowledge intensive computerised systems. In systems modelling based on capability-oriented agent theory, the concept of multipurpose is regarded as the central and indisputable nature of all systems. The introduction part provides the scientific background and initiating research behind the capability-oriented agent theory. Next, the rationale for its basic elements along with their description is presented. The application of the principle is then explained and illustrated.
