We describe the Agents Channelling ContExt Sensitive Services (ACCESS) architecture, an open agent-based architecture that supports the development and deployment of multiple heterogeneous context sensitive services. We detail the ACCESS architecture paying particular attention to three facets, which illustrate the intelligent cooperation between the agents at its core: map caching, user profiling, and agent tuning. Finally, we describe the scenario of an individual arriving in a city and using his ACCESS enabled PDA to secure lodgings.
