Abstract
Intelligent agents are a new paradigm for developing software applications. Intelligent Agent (IA) can be defined to be an autonomous, problem-solving computational entity capable of effective operation in dynamic and open environments. Intelligent Agents are often deployed in environments in which they can interact, can cooperate, with other agents, including both people and software. In this paper Intelligent Agent architecture is proposed. The proposed architecture is capable to percept the dynamically changing environment. Based upon the perception, historical knowledge and internal design, the Intelligent Agent infers the action effecting the environment and updates the knowledgebase according to the action taken. Based upon the proposed Intelligent Agent architecture an Intelligent Medical Diagnosis System (IMDS) is given.
