Agent Books

Dr. Tambe's exposition on artificial intelligence is the most insightful, fascinating literature on the subject. I highly recommend this title.

If you think that these books don't have enough action then check out the first chapter!!! Great Stuff

I sat on the edge of my chair as I read this wonderful book! It's a very interesting book! The main character of the book showed all the attributes of horror that made him a true agent of satan! I fully recommend it to others.

To whom it may concern:

This informative and educational book is especially interesting to this honorably discharged Vietnam veteran, and I'm sure it will be of interest to anyone else who served over there and has helped explain why the major health problems that have struck me in the prime of my life. I'm quite sure that Agent Orange had a lot to do with my heart problems and my neurological problems, as well. This molecule, the MOST dangerous ever made by man, is not only responsible for my figurative death, but, also, the ongoing deaths of those unfortunate and innocent Vietnamese who are STILL dying in record numbers. Of course, this supposedly caring country will NOT own up to its evil and willful destruction of Vietnam and its once-beautiful country. It used Vietnam as a proving ground for its further poisoning of other 3rd world countries, such as Iraq. What a tragedy and a farce!

An educational game for the Atari 400/800/1200xl. You are a Agent working to rescue the USA from an alien invasion. Teaches Cities, geography, time zones. Even as I have aged (I am now 25) I still dust the atari off and play the game once in a while. I wish that games like this were made for the youth of today.

This is a great book for all children and also for those that have a child at heart. I have read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night" by Mark Haddon and really enjoyed this book. It is written with the same humor and feel good feelings.This book is a good read and a great value.

The authors provide a practical guide to fill the gap between research and industrial world. Agent standards and methodologies from design to implementation, with special reference to planning, scheduling and control systems, are introduced and linked to manufacturing information systems.

This book was really useful in giving me a solid understanding on where agent-based software development really stands. It clearly explains what agents are, where they are useful and what kinds of architectures are used to build them. It presents and, more importantly, *compares* some *real* toolkits that can actually be used to develop agent systems, something that I have not seen in any other book. The methodology chapter tied the toolkits and architecture chapters together by showing how you can start to design a real system, while the standards and technology chapters nicely complemented the rest of the information in the book and provided good pointers to follow up. Finally, the resources chapters places you right in the middle of what is going on in the agent world. I recommend the book to anyone that wants to get a head start in agent development. Get cracking...

It should come as no surprise to anyone in business that ripples in the supply chain can grow to tidal waves before they reach the bottom line. One example: an 18 strike at a brake supplier stopped production in 26 General Motors plants. Today everyone wants to minimize inventory, going to some form of Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery of components. This means that the potential for greater disruption of the manufacturing process grows with the shortness of the reserve for delayed delivery.

In this book the author has developed an autonomous, reactive/proactive agent that then has the ability to communicate with other agents or humans. This agent(a computer program of a special type) is developed for event management to maintain an almost continuous check on the supply line. This book uses a theoretical approach and does not provide actual code.

Ringwood and Huntbach were my professors in graduate school. They taught us a course titled Multi Agent Systems. Much of the areas covered in those lectures find their way in this superb account on AI programming.

The first few chapters are accessible to readers without a strong AI background. The material gets more involving as we go through the book.

Interestingly, the book develops the idea of 'agent-oriented' programming chronologically from the the days preceeding the Fifth generation project to present day multi-agent technologies.

I would highly recommend the book to all AI students, researchers and practitioners.
