Intelligent agile agents: active enablers for ambient intellgence

This paper advocates the use of mobile intentional
agents as a key enabler in the delivery of ambient
intelligence. Ambient computing as an ideal demands levels
of functional attainment that have hithertofar not been
realised. Ambient applications demand that the computing
application be subsumed into the everyday context in an
unobtrusive manner with interaction modalities such that
they are natural, simple and appropriate to both the
individual user and their associated context.
