Summary:The article discusses the use of aspect-oriented techniques to construct high-quality multi-agent systems in computer programming. Advances in network-based software applications and the penetration of ubiquitous computing are pushing consumers toward a world of autonomous software architectures. The trend focuses on the use of agent technology as a complement to the object paradigm for computer applications, including e-commerce, software development environments, and personal digital assistants. The authors examine the use of software agents in computer programming.
