An agent (50) in a distributed computing environment includes a negotiation management module (NMM) (51) which is invoked when it is necessary to form a contract with another external agent for providing a particular service, a resource management module (RMM) (52) which manages resources controlled by the agent, a service/task management module (SMM) (53) which launches and controls services and tasks associated with the agent, and a communications module (CM) (56) which is the focus for both incoming and outgoing messages to and from the agent. The agent (50) is also provided with an acquaintance model (AM) (55) which provides an overall picture of services offered by other agents in the environment and a self model (SM) (54) which maintains a representation of the services which the agent (50) can itself provide. When requested to provide a service, the NMM (51) negotiates with the requestor, via the CM (56), on the basis of information provided by the RMM (52) relating to resources available to the agent (50). When a contract is finalised, the RMM (52) oversees the management of the resources controlled by the agent and the SMM (53) controls the services and tasks required by the agent (50) to complete the contract.

Un agent (50) dans un environnement DCE comprend un module de gestion de négociations (51) qui est appelé lorsqu'il est nécessaire de passer un contrat avec un autre agent externe pour fournir un service particulier, un module de gestion de ressources (52) qui gère les ressources contrôlées par l'agent, un module de gestion de tâches/services (53) qui lance et commande des services et tâches associés à l'agent, et un module de communication (56) qui est le foyer des messages entrants et des messages sortants, à destination et en provenance de l'agent. L'agent (50) est également pourvu d'un modèle de connaissances élémentaires (55) qui donne une image globale des services offerts par les autres agents dans l'environnement et un auto-modèle (54) qui maintient une représentation des services que l'agent (50) peut lui-même offrir. Lors de la demande d'un service, le module de gestion de négotiations (51) négocie avec le demandeur, via le module de communication (56) sur la base des informations fournies par le module de gestion de ressources (52) concernant les ressources disponibles pour l'agent (50). Lors de la finalisation d'un contrat, le module de gestion de ressources (52) supervise la gestion des ressources contrôlées par l'agent, et le module de gestion de services/tâches (53) commande les services et tâches demandés par l'agent (50) pour compléter le contrat.
