The first book to provide an integrative presentation of the
issues, challenges and success of designing, building and using
agent applications. The chapters presented are written by
internationally leading authorities in the field, with a general
audience in mind. The result is a unique overview of agent
technology applications, ranging from an introduction to the
technical foundations to reports on dealing with specific agent
systems in practice.

Since the 1980s, software agents and multi-agent systems have grown into what is now one of the most active areas of research and development activity in computing generally. One of the most important reasons for the current intensity of interest in the agent-based computing paradigm certainly is that the concept of an agent as an autonomous system, capable of interacting with other agents in order to satisfy its design objectives, is a natural one for software designers. This recognition has led to the growth of interest in agents as a new paradigm for software engineering.This book reflects the state of the art in the field by presenting 14 revised full papers accepted for the second workshop on this topic, AOSE 2001, together with five invited survey articles. The book offers topical sections on societies and organizations, protocols and interaction frameworks, UML and agent systems, agent-oriented requirements capture and specification, and analysis and design.
Artificial Intelligence is one of the most fascinating and unusual
areas of academic study to have emerged this century. For some, AI
is a true scientific discipline, that has made important and
fundamental contributions to the use of computation for our
understanding of nature and phenomena of the human mind; for
others, AI is the black art of computer science.
Artificial Intelligence Today provides a showcase for the field of
AI as it stands today. The editors invited contributions both from
traditional subfields of AI, such as theorem proving, as well as
from subfields that have emerged more recently, such as agents, AI
and the Internet, or synthetic actors. The papers themselves are a
mixture of more specialized research papers and authorative survey
papers.
The secondary purpose of this book is to celebrate
Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.

This carefully edited book constitutes the strictly refereed
post-workshop proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on
Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages, ATAL'97, held in
Providence, Rhode Island, USA, in July 1997.
The 25 revised full papers presented were selected from a total of
76 submissions. The book is divided into sections on methodologies,
architectures and infrastructures, coordination planning and
monitoring, formal methods, theories, and architectures and
methodologies. Like its predecessors published in the Intelligent
Agents series, this volume specifically focuses on the
relationships between the theory and the applications of agents.

Intelligent agents are computer systems that are capable of
flexible autonomous action in dynamic, typically multi-agent
domains. Over the past few years, the computer science community
has begun to recognise that the technology of intelligent agents
provides the key to solving a range of complex software application
problems, for which traditional software engineering tools and
techniques offer no solution.
This book, the third in a series, represents the state of the art
in the science of agent systems. It is based on papers presented at
the 3rd workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures and Languages
(ATAL'96), held in conjunction with the European Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (ECAI'96) in Budapest, Hungary, in August
1996. It is essential reading for anyone interested in this vital
new technology.
This volume coherently present 24 thoroughly revised full papers
accepted for the ECAI-94 Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures,
and Languages.
There is currently considerable interest, from both the AI and the
mainstream CS communities, in conceptualizing and building complex
computer systems as collections of intelligent agents. This book is
devoted to theoretical and practical aspects of architectural and
language-related design and implementation issues of software
agents. Particularly interesting is the comprehensive survey by the
volume editors, which outlines the key issues and indicates, via a
comprehensive bibliography, topics for further reading. In
addition, a glossary of key terms in this emerging field and a
comprehensive subject index is included.
