Agtivity

Definition: Complete, Complex Agent (CCA)

By Jack Krupansky

A complete, complex agent (CCA) is an agent that that has multiple, conflicting goals, and multiple, mutually-exclusive means of achieving those goals, and can function naturally on its own, rather than being a dependent part of a Multi-Agent System (MAS).

Examples of complete, complex agents are autonomous robots, virtual reality (VR) characters, personified intelligent tutors, and psychologically plausible artificial life (ALife).
