Description: How you can build smarter distributed systems in any domain using intelligent agents. This practical and comprehensive guide explains what intelligent agents (IAs) are, how systems of agents can collaborate to solve difficult problems, the kinds of commercially-available technologies that can be used to build them, and how they can make today's and tomorrow's information systems easier to manage and use.

The authors examine virtually all aspects of intelligent agent technology, in a logical progression of topics.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 375-380) and index.
