TL;DRAbstract

This paper argues that the user interface of a workstation connected continuously (24x7) to a network would be most effective with a sophisticated agent architecture embedded deep in the workstation system software. In the user's absence an embedded agent system could act as something more than a proxy for the user, the multiple sub-agents within it should act in concert as a Digital Self, one representing and empowering the user. Our proposed agent architecture, called Shadowboard, is based on a sophisticated model of the user drawn from the Psychology of Subselves, a modern stream of Analytical Psychology.
