Abstract : Based on the lessons on a software implementation called ADAM, that is presented in this paper, we address the question of the title by : EXPENSIVE !
Starting from two scenarios, we first try to characterize the costs of a distributed approach versus a centralized approach for the program supervision in a distributed environment. Then we describe ADAM's technical realization, and conclude on a discussion pointing out the granularity problems in the (Software) Agent concept.
Key-words : Artificial Intelligence, program supervision, software components, agents, distributed systems
