To gauge how " hot " a technology is, try pinning down a definition that covers all the players and products that claim to implement it. For a cutting-edge technology like intelligent agents, you'll come up with a grab bag: Beyond a germ (or two) of commonality among the definitions where all or most of the candidates agree, many products and research efforts take fundamental agent concepts and...

guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of intelligent transportation systems (its). nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. in this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...

B ehavior Analysis, the scientific study of animal and human behavior and learning described extensively on this Internet site (www.behavior.org), provides a strong conceptual framework for intelligent computer systems known as adaptive autonomous agents. Even as the weaknesses of existing approaches to computer agents are becoming more obvious, many trends in the field are moving toward the ap...

Wireless sensor networks efficient collection data with hundreds and thousands of sensor nodes is very complex task. Recently, mobile agents have been proposed for efficient data dissemination in sensor networks. In the traditional client/server-based computing architecture, data at multiple sources are transferred to a destination; whereas in the mobileagent based computing paradigm, a task sp...

Copyright held by authors, 2015 Abstract We argue that there is a shift in how drivers perceive vehicles, moving from vehicles as tools towards vehicles as intelligent agents. Here, we present recent and ongoing research that explores the consequences for human interaction with increasingly intelligent (whether semior fully autonomous) vehicles. We highlight in particular that the driver’s perc...

Agent-based computing is rapidly maturing from a relatively obscure existence in research labs towards an accepted and valued technology in industry. A sure sign of this transformation is the emergence of commercial tools for the development of agentbased software. In this issue we feature two articles that describe such tools. Although they both have a strong relationship to the Java programmi...
