Human Avatar as in VRML+ is an example of a coarse grain complex mobile agent with unpredictable real-time dynamics
|
A cell of a regular CFD simulation is a fine grain size agent with simple static behavior. We wouldn't view it at all as 'an agent' if not that ...
-
a cell of an irregular (hence real world) CFD simulation e.g. in a turbulence region is a variable size agent (due to adaptive mesh)
-
with potential mobility (due to load balancing) and complex behavior (in a heterogenous distributed environment).

|
Another example is a mobile agent that controls a LOD node in a dynamic terrain simulation/navigation.

|
Finally, models such as Telescript address the information retrieval in terms of mobile variable size agents that can spread, gather and spawn copies to optimize search in distributed infobases.
