Intelligent agent-based systems are regarded as the promising technology in  bridging the gap between the physical world and cyber-applications. In spite  of the rising demands for reusable information systems; current designs are  still insufficient in providing efficient reusable mechanisms for system  design. One of the major problems hinders the development of information  reuse in most traditional systems is the lack of the autonomous character  among system modules or subsystems. The emergence of agent technology is  able to solve the problem plaguing many traditional systems. Existing agent  design models create an agent as a sole system with built-in domain-specific  capabilities. However, this design pattern causes several problems while  matching and updating agents’ capabilities due to the built-in design  pattern in these models decreases agents’ extensibility, flexibility and  reusability. In this paper we introduce a novel design for agent-based  systems, which is able to provide an efficient design pattern for improving  the reusability, extensibility and flexibility of agent design. The novel  agent capability design offers an open and flexible structure; and  implements several practical algorithms that can improve the system  performance. An experimental program based on several practical cases has  been developed to evaluate the performance of the proposed design. The  empirical results reveal the efficiency of the new agent design pattern.
