Agent Technologies

Objective of Meeting

The objective of this meeting was to establish interest in a new forum to assist organizations of all types and sizes with the development of enterprise applications for agent technologies. The focus will be on delivering solutions to real-world challenges. It is not new, but is now emerging as a key development that will have a growing impact across all industry sectors.

Outputs

It is hoped to create an Agent Technologies Forum that will work towards integrating agent technology into a conventional enterprise technology stack and development methodology. Rather than develop agent solutions that sit apart from existing enterprise applications, we want to find ways to leverage the technology within core operational applications.
