VRML/VAG/VRML+ current concepts share many aspects with agents technology.
-
We could call VRML 2.0 Behavior node an Agent
-
and we could implement scalable multiservers in terms of a mesh of multithreded servers/interpreters of an agent language such as in the Telescript model.

Eventually, intelligent agents will populate/inhabit Cyberspace and will hopefully be useful and friendly to their human ancestors
|
In the near term, dumb agents will be crucial for testing TVR environments (as we can't commit and coordinate N>>1 humans to patiently test flaky software).
|
Variable grain size agents also offer a useful interpolating paradigm that integrates collaboration, information and high performance computing.
