Abstract
Intelligent Agents have originated a lot of discussion about what they are, and how they are different from general programs. We describe in this paper a new paradigm for intelligent agents. This paradigm helped us deal with failures in an independent and efficient way. We proposed three types of agents to treat the system in a hierarchic way. A new way to visualize fault tolerant systems (FTS) is proposed, in this paper with the incorporation of intelligent agents, which as they grow and specialized create the Multi-Agent System (MAS). The MAS contains a diversified range of agents, which depending on the perspective will be specialized or evolutionary (from our initially proposal) they will be specialized for the detection and possible solution of errors that appear in an FTS). The initial structure of the agent is proposed in [1] and it is called a reflected agent with an internal state and in the Method MeCSMA [2].
