Pitfalls of Agent Development

Forget It is Distributed

Distributed systems are very tricky to design an implement.
People have a hard time thinking about asynchronous interactions.
There are many complex technologies available: CORBA, RMI, SOAP, etc.
In fact, distributed programming is a whole other class (CSCE 590).
Agent systems build on top of distributed programming (OSI stack).
Make sure you use existing technologies.
