About this Item

Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 316 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Communications systems continue to grow: physically and in terms of the services offered by the providers. Consequently there is a need for more sophisticated software systems. Agent-based computing, and in particular research into multi-agent systems, is leading the way in the development of techniques to address the variety of needs associated with these new technologies: for example, languages and protocols for communication, frameworks for negotiation and platforms which allow mobile processes to operate remotely. Agent Technology for Communication Infrastructures covers all these issues and more. Introduces software agent philosophy and underlines the need for more radical approaches to communications systems design and design methodology Includes results from recent research in the new state-of-the-art technology within its application to the communications industry Illustrates the diversity of communications applications using agent technology Demonstrates the increased capabilities of agents that are not currently achievable using traditional standards-based network signaling With contributions from leading authorities in the field covering a wide range of issues, it targets practitioners at advanced level, researchers in agent technology and communications along with postgraduate students in electronic engineering and computer science.

About this title

Synopsis

Agent Technology is a fast growing area of research in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. Agents are autonomousproblem-solving entities residing in an environment able to solveproblems, roam network infrastructures, adapt to changes in theirenvironment an interact with other agents.

Offering a useful snapshot of the current status of the field, thistext focuses sharply on the upcoming convergence of intelligentsoftware and communications systems.

• Contributions from leading authorities in the field covering awide range of issues,
• Demonstrates the increased capabilites of agents that are notcurrently achievable using traditional standards-based network signalling.

This valuable reference resource is essential reading forresearchers or practitioners interested in applying agenttechnology or in business to develop next generation distributedapplications, as well as scientists and engineers in R & Ddepartments and lecturers and researchers in telecommunications andcomputer science.
