And the paper (Mahalingam & Huhns, 1997) describes how
query formation can be made simple and less complicated by using ontologies. Our
chapter focuses on the product ontology for product-brokering agents, and we try
to demonstrate that agents can build efficient product ontologies via collaboration
and exchange with other fellow agents.

As mentioned earlier, agent structure is a basic concern in agent evolution. Figure 1
shows an agent structure with evolutionary features which include some hierarchical
knowledge structure and the evolutionary modules.
The communication interface is responsible for communication with the owner,
hosts, and other agents. Each agent is also equipped with a receptor and an actor.
The receptor receives inputs from the outside world and passes information
to the functionality modules or saves it in the result/data modules, while the actor
enforces decisions made by the agent. The identity module contains basic elements
regarding the identity of an agent, such as agent ID, certificate, and agent-digest.
