Abstract

See full text

A method and system that allows definition of software agent packages that include software agent processing code and identification of zero or more processing extensions and of a runtime environment. In a preferred embodiment, an XML document is generated that identifies the files containing the agent code, identifies the runtime environment and extensions to be used by the agent, and that includes configuration data for the runtime environments and the extension modules. The agent software package includes descriptions of agent methods that are exposed through extensions and are available to external processes. The XML document and agent code form an agent package that is transmitted to an agent server for installation. The developer transmitting the agent package can optionally specify that an instance of the agent is to be started after installation.
