软件代理--自主的、移动的和智能的软件程序--提供了创新和加速分布式应用开发的所有必要特征。它们代表了用于实现分布式协作工作流和复杂交互的强大而健壮的软件技术。应用软件代理，计算工程研究所与鲁尔河协会合作，正在采取创新的方法来开发一个现代化的大坝监测系统，该系统能够支持参与监测的专家的协作工作。传统的基于计算机的监测系统考虑了远程监测、测量数据的呈现和电子传输，而目前基于代理的方法则侧重于数据分析和安全评估的分布式工作流程。因此，大坝监测的完整工作流程被映射到一个多智能体系统：定期执行的任务（如在大坝测量）进行面向任务的代理。此外，所涉及的人类专家由个人代理协助，这允许与多代理系统直接通信，并提供对特定任务的访问。与代理技术的已知优点相关联，例如鲁棒性和移动性，所引入的概念与传统的监控应用相比是显著的增强。本文简要介绍了大坝监测，概述了选定的设计基于代理的大坝监测系统，并提供了一个洞察到目前的实施。需要指出的是，这一认识还不完全，是一个研究问题。
Software agents - autonomous, mobile and intelligent software programs - provide all the necessary characteristics to innovate and accelerate the development of distributed applications. They represent powerful and robust software technology for implementing distributed collaborative work flows and complex interaction. Applying software agents, the Institute of Computational Engineering, in cooperation with the Ruhrverband (Ruhr River Association) is taking an innovative approach to develop a modern dam monitoring system, which is capable of supporting the collaborative work of experts involved in monitoring. While the conventional computer-based monitoring systems consider the remote monitoring, the presentation and the electronic transfer of measured data, the present agent-based approach is focusing the distributed work flow of data analysis and safety assessment. Consequently, the complete work flow of dam monitoring is mapped onto a multi-agent system: regularly performed tasks (e.g. measuring at the dam) are carried out by task-oriented agents. In addition, the involved human experts are assisted by personal agents, which allow a direct communication with the multiagent system and provide access to specific tasks. Associated with the known advantages of the agent technology, such as robustness and mobility, the introduced concept is a significant enhancement compared to conventional monitoring applications. The present paper gives a short introduction to dam monitoring, outlines the selected design of the agent-based dam monitoring system and provides an insight into the current implementation. It is to be pointed out that the realization is still incomplete and a matter of research.
