Abstract

In this work we argue that the shift from computer networks to agent networks is an important improvement of the network programming technology. Its due the fact that agents are well suited for modeling, designing and implementing scalable, flexible and secure distributed systems over a computing environment. Based on this agent-paradigm, our proposal is to make a case study of a chatterbot prototype. This chatterbot can be utilized in educational virtual environments to provide an interface to guide the student in the explanation of the FAQs.
