Description: "The authors present a systematic development of the concurrent object-oriented agent programming language Guarded Definite Clauses (GDC). In contrast to other languages used in agent programming, like Java, Telescript, and Agent-TCL, this language is derived from the artificial intelligence programming tradition and emphasizes AI applications." "A working knowledge of Prolog is helpful to fully appreciate the arguments. The book is written for students and professionals interested in agent programming or in AI programming in general."--Jacket.
