Despite the fact that the origin of software agent systems has been rooted in autonomous artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology, their implementations are still based on conventional imperative computing techniques rather than autonomous computational intelligence. This paper presents a cognitive informatics perspective on autonomous agent systems (AAS’s). A hierarchical reference mod...

Topological theory of intelligent agent networks provides crucial information about the structure of agent distribution over a network. Agent network topologies not only take agent distribution into consideration but also consider agent mobility and intelligence in a network. Current research in the agent network topology area adopts topological theory from the distributed system and computing ...

This chapter presents ALZ-MAS1, an Ambient Intelligence based multi-agent system aimed at enhancing the assistance and health care for Alzheimer patients. The system makes use of several context-aware technologies that allow it to automatically obtain information from users and the environment in an evenly distributed way, focusing on the characteristics of ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, mo...

The exponential growth of information and proliferation of service offers on the Web require a robust platform which can not merely offer networked computing capabilities but also support intelligent data and service handling. Agent Grid Intelligence Platform (AGrIP) is such an Internet intelligent platform that enables greater access to both content and a well-ordered and semantic-rich space b...

The realization of complex distributed applications, required in areas such as e-Business, e-Government, and ambient intelligence, calls for new development paradigms, such as the Service Oriented Computing approach which accommodates for dynamic and adaptive interaction schemata, carried on on a per-to-peer level. Multi Agent Systems offer the natural architectural solutions to several require...
