Agent Technology is a fast growing area of research in ArtificialIntelligence and Computer Science. Agents are autonomousproblem-solving entities residing in an environment able to solveproblems, roam network infrastructures, adapt to changes in theirenvironment an interact with other agents.
Offering a useful snapshot of the current status of the field, thistext focuses sharply on the upcoming convergence of intelligentsoftware and communications systems.
* Contributions from leading authorities in the field covering awide range of issues,
* Demonstrates the increased capabilites of agents that are notcurrently achievable using traditional standards-based networksignalling.
This valuable reference resource is essential reading forresearchers or practitioners interested in applying agenttechnology or in business to develop next generation distributedapplications, as well as scientists and engineers in R & Ddepartments and lecturers and researchers in telecommunications andcomputer science.
