Design for Emergent Behaviour with Agents

Related to my thoughts on Wireless Mobile Agents and the Internet of Things, O’Reilly’s Paul Browne suggests that a agent computing might be a paradigm to replace OO programming. He mentions Cougaar for creating and managing agents.

Relation to my thesis: Ubicomp infrastructures are centrally controlled. Some could be designed for the emergence of behaviours as agent programming naturally suggests.
