JavaScript based Agents

Inspiration

One of the implicit assumptions that agent researchers and developers make is the inevitability of this technology becoming ubiquitous to the point that agents will be able to freely move between servers, desktops and personal devices.
However, in computational practice the situation is far from reaching this stage.
One of the primary technological obstacles is that most of agent platforms require
the host device to run a platform-specific virtual agency to receive incoming
agents. Unfortunately, at this time agencies are not widely deployed, preventing
agents from traveling freely between systems.
