Multi-layer perspective. Gadomski (1998) provide a somewhat differing perspective of an intelligent agent, with a more detailed description of the relevant components required in its design. They applied a three-layer vertical scale to describe how an intelligent agent should be formed.

The first layer, communication, described the method of interaction between the various actors (that is the user, agent and other agents) within the system. This layer was divided into three zones;

(1) perceptors;

(2) effectors; and

(3) messages.

The second layer describes the region within which the intelligent agent operates and processes that it conducts. Again this layer is subdivided, though this time into four relevant features.

The first, defined as the association stratum, describes the ability of the agent to reason and make deductions. The association stratum is closely linked to the comprehension center that describes the basic model-knowledge structure of the agent. Gadomski (1998) describes the preference centre as the point at which the specific goals of the agent are established.

Finally, the knowledge centre, also considered the operational site, provides the specific decisional and action basis for the agent where intervention and respective actions are undertaken.

The final, and perhaps the most important layer that defines an intelligent agent, is the meta-reasoning kernel. This layer is the location that contains the nerve centre of the agent where its relevant strategies and operating parameters are defined.

Gadomski (1998) consider this to be the point at which human characteristics, necessary for an intelligent agent to exist, is developed and incorporated. Without this layer it, according to Gadomski and Zytkow (1994), would not enable the agent to be defined as intelligent.

In principal, Gadomski (1998), attempting to more closely and technically define intelligent agents and the attributes they need to possess.

Gadomski (1998) provide a somewhat differing perspective of an intelligent agent, suggesting a more detailed description of the relevant components required in its design. Their model comprised a three-layer vertical scale with relevant subcomponents at each layer. Gadomski 's (1998) model is shown in Figure 3. {Insert Figure 3. About Here}

MINDS
The scope of MINDS (Multi-purpose Intelligent Networked Decision Support) project is to contribute to the development of a multi-purpose active Decision-Support System (DSS) with modifiable knowledge and learning capability for various profiles of end-users. The transition from passive decision support systems (DSS) to active ones is based here on the proposal of the development of new intelligent agent ( personoids ) software technology and adequate associated prototypes providing the basis for tackling a wide range of decisional human activities.

Abstract Intelligent Agents: Paradigms, Foundations and Conceptualization Problems

Abstract Intelligent Agents: Paradigms, Foundations and Conceptualization Problems  by  Adam M. Gadomski and Jan M. Zytkow reviews  abstract intelligent agents (AIA) - a hypothetical  model that captures the essence of all systems  which we accept as "intelligent"  in the common sense. They review different perspectives on  agents discussed at the Round-Table in Rome, including the difference between agents and physical agents, agent behavior, observation and  action capacities, communication with other  agents, architecture and reasoning.

Paradigms of Personoids

Paradigms of Personoids a white paper by Adam Maria Gadomski discusses that personoid does not need a human-like physical body it is rather an abstraction of some functions of the human mind which can be considered as a asic entity for any, always goal-oriented intelligent system. The personoid shell is a carrier of "reasoning" frames.
