Whilst I agree largely with Janice Glasgow's position paper, there are a number of relevant subtle and important issues that she does not address, concerning the variety of forms and techniques of representation available to intelligent agents, and issues concerned with different levels of description of the same agent, where that agent includes different virtual machines at different levels of abstraction. I shall also suggest ways of improving on her array‐based representation by using a general network representation, though I do not know whether efficient implementations are possible.
