It is one of the most promising areas of research and development in information technology, computer science and engineering. This book addresses some of the key issues in agent engineering: What is meant by "autonomous agents"? How can we build agents with autonomy? What are the desirable capabilities of agents with respect to surviving (they will not die) and living (they will furthermore enjoy Series in machine perception and artificial intelligence ;vol. 43.Artificial intelligenceIntelligent agents (Computer software)Electronic books.Artificial intelligence.Intelligent agents (Computer software)006.3Liu Jiming1962-771474MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454404103321Agent engineering2242414UNINA
