An object and agent oriented hybrid programming paradigm

An object and agent oriented hybrid programming paradigm is presented in this paper. The introduction of an agent construction part into the existing objected oriented programming languages can enable the smooth transition of programming paradigms, provide better support for the reuse and smooth evolution of software,and at the same time provide a straightforward and high level interaction means for complex applications such as distributed problem solving,computer supported cooperative work etc.,which require complex interactions. The paper discusses the message-driven agent architecture based on class framework,proposes the concept of mental categories without explicit time point and the concept of behavior rule,and introduces the agent programming language COAL0 based on C++.
