	An ''Agent'' is a ~~software resource which represents some portion of a user~~ in the ~~virtual world. Agents are hosted in agent servers. An agent may cause an avatar to be instantiated on behalf~~ of a ~~user~~.		An {{AWG\|Agent}} is a virtual device with spatial characteristics such that it virtually exists in the space of a {{AWG\|Region}}. {{AWG\|Prim}}s and {{AWG\|Avatar}}s interact with each other through the use of {{AWG\|Agent}}s. {{AWG\|Region Domain}}s host {{AWG\|Agent}}s as guests. {{AWG\|Agent}}s originate from the {{AWG\|Agent Domain}}.

	~~Agents:~~

	* Mediate the user's ~~message traffic~~
	* Mediate the user's asset inventory
	* Act as a focal point for the user's ~~access to services in~~ other ~~domains~~
	* Act as a focal point for the ~~user's access to utilties~~
	* Act to report the user's avatar's location in the Virtual World to other parts of ~~the system~~
