In this paper we discuss intelligent agent support for parallel and distributed computing in a heterogeneous environment. We provide an overview of the Bond environment and of services provided by a network on intelligent agents, then we discuss in depth the Scheduling Expert Advisor SEA. The SEA processes a high level description of a computational task provided by a user and converts it into a set of facts and rules. An expert system starts the execution of one program or a group of programs based on the scheduling information compiled earlier.
