Abstract
In recent decades, programming engineers have inferred a logically better comprehension of the qualities of unpredictability in programming. Programming structures that contain numerous powerfully collaborating segments, participating in complex problem solving, normally significant degrees more effectively and efficiently engineer than those that essentially figures an element of some contribution through a solitary string of control. Effectively and efficiently engineer programming can be achieved by using software agents. A software agent is the program which can be run in any system environment without any interface of the user or any other external software. Agent software is emerging area of research. However, the word “agent” is most frequently used knowing the fact that it is heterogeneous for research. In this paper, various software agents such as collaborative agents, interface agents, mobile agents, Internet agents, reactive agents, hybrid agents are studied.
