One agent in computer science is software or other computational type entity with some intelligence characteristics. Therefore, an intelligent agent is a composition of hardware, software with some intelligent features. Each intelligent agent perceives its environment with collecting some information about that environment through its sensors attempt to achieve its goals by acting through its actuators. Intelligent agents are having some internal characteristics (such as: autonomy, Learning/ reasoning, reactivity and goal oriented) and some external characteristics (such as: communication, cooperation, mobility).
