Abstract

Intelligent Multi-Agent Hybrid Distributed Architecture (IMAHDA) for complex systems has been defined at the task structure level and the computational level. IHMADA has been built around five information processing phases. The five phases represent a deliberate as well as automated or reflexive reasoning structure. This paper outlines some aspects of the computational level of IMAHDA. The computational level is derived from four layers, namely, object layer, software agent layer, intelligent agent layer, and problem solving agent layer. Agent description in terms of percepts, goals, actions, and environment for some of the problem solving agents is also outlined. IMAHDA has been applied in engineering (real time systems) and management areas
