Future research

     > strengthen the theory by discovering how overcome its limitations

     > discover the individual and situational differences that
        might make one theory more useful than another

     > develop and test new or hybrid theories

     > comparisons of software agents using different aspects
        or versions of a theory

     > head-to-head comparisons of different theories (agents compete)

     > cooperative tests (agents collaborate)
