FCVW agent framework
The rising cost and growing complexity of software development is a triggering force for the development of frameworks. Frameworks provide reusability of components and they have been developed for many domains. However, very few attempts have been made to develop agent frameworks for Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). This paper presents processes used in developing an agent framework for Federated Collaborative Virtual Workspace (FCVW) based on Agent Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) techniques. FCVW is an extension of MITRE's Collaborative Virtual Workspace (CVW). The main objective of this framework is to allow FCVW users to create software agents more easily.
