Abstract

Intelligent Agents have originated a lot discussion about what they are, and how they are a 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 these types of agents to treat the system in a hierarchical way. The Agent Node is also described. A new method to visualize fault tolerant system (FTS) is proposed in this paper with the incorporation of intelligent agents, which as they grow and specialize create the Multi Agent System (MAS).The communications diagrams of the each of the agents is described in diagrams of transaction of states.
