Agent architecture in
computer science
Computer science is the study of computation, automation, and information. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, information theory, and automation) to practical disciplines (includin ...

Comparison of Agent Architectures
The term agent is a conceptual idea, but not defined precisely. It consists of facts, set of goals and sometimes a plan library.
