Is Agent Software More Complex than Other Software?

We empirically investigate agent software repositories using commonly used software metrics, which are used in software engineering literature to quantify meaningful characteristics of software based on its source code. We contrast the measurements with those of software in other categories. Analyzing hundreds of software projects, we find that agent software may be different from other types of software, in terms of software complexity measures.
