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.
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
Agents do not:
- Store persistent assets (They are stored in asset servers)
