Description:

Build your own intelligent agent system...

Intelligent agent technology is a tool of modern computer science that can be used to engineer complex computer programmes that behave rationally in dynamic and changing environments. Applications range from small programmes that intelligently search the Web buying and selling goods via electronic commerce, to autonomous space probes.

This powerful technology is not widely used, however, as developing intelligent agent software requires high levels of training and skill. The authors of this book have developed and tested a methodology and tools for developing intelligent agent systems. With this methodology (Prometheus) developers can start agent-oriented designs and implementations easily from scratch saving valuable time and resources.

Developing Intelligent Agent Systems not only answers the questions "what are agents?" and "why are they useful?" but also the crucial question: "how do I design and build intelligent agent systems?" The book covers everything a practitioner needs to know to begin to effectively use this technology - including an introduction to the notion of agents, a description of the concepts involved, and a software engineering methodology.

Read on for:

  • a practical step-by-step introduction to designing and building intelligent agent systems.
  • a full life-cycle methodology for developing intelligent agent systems covering specification, analysis, design and implementation of agents.
  • PDT: Prometheus Design Tool – software support for the Prometheus design process.
  • the example of an electronic bookstore to illustrate the design process throughout the book.

Electronic resources including the Prometheus Design Tool (PDT), can be found at: www.cs.rmit.edu.au/agents/prometheus

This book is aimed at industrial software developers, software engineers and at advanced undergraduate students. It assumes knowledge of basic software engineering but does not require knowledge of Artificial Intelligence or of mathematics. Familiarity with Java will help in reading the examples in chapter 10.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

**描述:**
建立您自己的智能代理系統...
智能代理技術是現代計算機科學的一種工具,可用於設計在動態和變化環境中理性行為的複雜計算機程序。應用範圍從小型程序,智能地在網絡上進行電子商務的商品買賣,到自主的太空探測器。
然而,這種強大的技術並不廣泛使用,因為開發智能代理軟件需要高水平的訓練和技能。本書的作者已經開發並測試了一種用於開發智能代理系統的方法論和工具。通過這種方法論(*Prometheus*),開發人員可以輕鬆地從零開始進行代理導向的設計和實現,節省寶貴的時間和資源。
*Developing Intelligent Agent Systems* 不僅回答了「什麼是代理?」和「它們為什麼有用?」的問題,還回答了關鍵問題:「我如何設計和構建智能代理系統?」本書涵蓋了實踐者開始有效使用這項技術所需了解的一切,包括代理的概念介紹、相關概念的描述以及軟件工程方法論。
繼續閱讀以獲得:
- 實用的逐步介紹,設計和構建智能代理系統。
- 涵蓋代理的規範、分析、設計和實現的智能代理系統的完整生命週期方法論。
- *PDT: Prometheus Design Tool* – 支持*Prometheus*設計過程的軟件。
- 使用電子書店的例子來說明整本書的設計過程。
電子資源,包括Prometheus設計工具(PDT),可以在以下網址找到:www.cs.rmit.edu.au/agents/prometheus
本書針對工業軟件開發人員、軟件工程師和高年級本科生。它假設讀者具備基本的軟件工程知識,但不要求具備人工智慧或數學的知識。熟悉Java將有助於閱讀第10章的例子。
