Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for transforming and routing data between agent servers present in some machines and a central agent server present in another machine. The agent server comprises autonomous agents (5) that communicate via notifications, a storage layer and an agent machine comprising an execution engine, a communication channel and two message queues for the notifications, a local queue (mqIn) and an external queue (mqOut). The execution engine takes a notification in the local queue, determines and loads the corresponding agent for each notification, has the agent react to the notification, which agent can then change its status and/or send notifications to the communication channel (2), which stores them in the local queue if they are addressed to a local agent and in the external queue if they are addressed to an agent of another server.
