Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make controllable the reduction of the load on an agent server by inspecting a message by referring to an interaction rule and specifying the destination agent of the message as an activation candidate agent. SOLUTION: An interaction managing mechanism 23 judges whether or not a message is the initial message of the interaction rule. When the message is the initial message of the interaction rule, an interaction management block is generated. Then, an agent activity request is added to a message transmission request. The agent activity request is an activity request to the destination agent of the message and this destination agent becomes an activity candidate agent. Then, this message transmission request is put in a queue. When the message is the initial message of the interaction rule, on the other hand, since the agent is already activated and the interaction management block is generated, an agent managing mechanism 27 is requested to send the message.
