Agent based systems are more common than we may think. A Promise Theory perspective on cooperation, in systems of human-machine agents, offers a unified perspective on organization and functional design with semi-automated efforts, in terms of the abstract properties of autonomous agents, This applies to human efforts, hardware systems, software, and artificial intelligence, with and without management.
