Agent-Oriented Programming

Agent-Oriented Programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm where software is built using autonomous, goal-driven components called agents. These agents can perceive their environment, make decisions, and act independently to achieve specific objectives. Unlike traditional programs, which follow fixed procedures, agents interact with each other and adapt to changing situations, making systems more flexible and dynamic. AOP is used in complex applications like robotics, multi-user systems, and simulations, where decentralized decision-making and collaboration among multiple entities are essential for effective performance.
