An agent is an autonomous software program that is independent, more or less intelligent, and able to learn. Mobile agents move from one computer to another. A mobile agent lives on a network, independent of any particular computer. The robots filters e-mail, search the web, and talks to other Agents. They will work independently in cyberspace within the parameters set by the user.
Agents also interact with other agents on the Internet.

The use of intelligent agents can support knowledge management and knowledge and information exchange between professionals involved in disaster and emergency response. The success rate of knowledge exchange and the credibility of this information are greatly enhanced by offering an agent service specifically aimed at this market.
