Abstract:Agents could be applied on workflow system to provide automation and coordination of business process. However, multi- agent systems may be developed on an agent platform. The mental states of agents may be implemented in program codes relevant to the platform. The internal workflow of agents could be planed by using a script-like approach. By this way, users could command the agents to do task for them with less addressing on the
implementation of agent codes. Therefore, a scripting approach is proposed in this paper for the internal workflow of mobile agents. All the work done by agents is abstracted to a task-level. The script could be used to handle the service access, the flow control and the cooperation among agents. © 2008 IEEE.
