Abstract

A method for constructing an agent that utilizes an as-needed canonical rule set in a first execution environment comprising requesting the as-needed rule set for the agent, supplying the agent with the as-needed rule set and requesting compilation of the as-needed rule set.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method comprising:
 requesting an as-needed canonical rule set based on a goal and an execution environment of an agent;   composing the as-needed canonical rule set based on the goal and the execution environment of the agent;   requesting construction of the agent that utilizes the as-needed canonical rule set;   constructing the agent that utilizes the as-needed canonical rule set; and   compiling the as-needed canonical rule set.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising supplying the as-needed rule set during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising supplying a location of a rule repository that can supply the as-needed rule set during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising fetching the as-needed rule set from the rule repository during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising compiling the as-needed rule set during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising locating a rule engine during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising supplying the rule engine with the as needed rule set during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the requesting the as-needed canonical rule set is performed by an application. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the application is in a second execution environment. 
     
     
         10 . A computer readable medium for constructing an agent that utilizes an as-needed canonical rule set in an execution environment, the computer readable medium comprising instructions for:
 requesting the as-needed canonical rule set based on a goal and the execution environment of the agent;   composing the as-needed canonical rule set based on the goal and the execution environment of the agent;   requesting construction of the agent that utilizes the as-needed canonical rule set;   constructing the agent that utilizes the as-needed canonical rule set; and   compiling the as-needed canonical rule set.   
     
     
         11 . The computer readable medium of  claim 10 , wherein an application requests the as-needed canonical rule set based on the goal and the execution environment of the agent. 
     
     
         12 . The computer readable medium of  claim 10 , wherein a rule repository compose an as-needed canonical rule set based on the goal and the execution environment of the agent. 
     
     
         13 . The computer readable medium of  claim 10 , further comprising instructions for supplying the as-needed rule set during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         14 . The computer readable medium of  claim 10 , further comprising instructions for supplying a location of a rule repository, that can supply the as-needed rule set, during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         15 . The computer readable medium of  claim 14 , further comprising instructions for fetching the as-needed rule set from the rule repository, during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         16 . The computer readable medium of  claim 10 , comprising instructions for compiling the as-needed rule set during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         17 . The computer readable medium of  claim 10 , further comprising instructions for locating a rule engine during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         18 . The computer readable medium of  claim 17 , further comprising instructions for supplying the rule engine with the as needed rule set during construction of the agent. 
     
     
         19 . A system comprising:
 a memory configured to store a memory; and   a processor configured to be communicably coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:   request an as-needed canonical rule set based on a goal and an execution environment of the agent;   compose the as-needed canonical rule set based on the goal and the execution environment of the agent;   request construction of the agent that utilizes the as-needed canonical rule set;   construct the agent that utilizes the as-needed canonical rule set; and   compile the as-needed canonical rule set.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the processor is further configured to supply the as-needed rule set during construction of the agent.
