The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we perceive to be the most important theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and construction of intelligent

collaboration interactions, and a reusable set of software components for constructing agents. We call this reusable multi-agent computational infrastructure RETSINA (Reusable Task Structure-based Intelligent Network Agents). It has three types of agents. Interface agents interact with the user receiving user

This paper is organised as follows. Section 2 introduces JACK Intelligent Agents, presenting the approach taken by AOS to its design and outlining its major engineering characteristics. The BDI model is discussed briefly in Section 3. Section 4 gives an outline of how to build an application

Intelligent agents have been applied to electronic commerce, promising a revolution in the way we conduct business, whether business-to-business, business-to-customer or customer-to-customer. This article gives a brief review of agent technologies involved in buying and selling, followed by lists

Software Agents are the new revolution in software usability. Agents are described with anthropomorphic features such as intelligence, autonomy, and such. The school of researchers from the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Distributed AI (DAI), and other more pragmatic researchers

Abstract — Confronting conflicts and coping with them is part of social life, since conflicts seem to arise in almost every context and developmental stage of human life. The personal and collective gains that follow conflict resolution have motivated scholars across many research fields to advocate the use of pro-social mechanisms for resolution. The Siren serious game aims to support teachers ’ role to educate young people on how to resolve conflicts, by employing affect-aware, userand cultural adaptivity to provide interesting and relevant conflict scenarios and resolution approaches.

ends (Alexandra Coddington) who used to be at U.C.L. with Maria Fox as her Ph.D. supervisor. At about 10 a.m. we were ushered into the conference room. Dr Greenough from R.A.L. said a few words about the fire alarms (get outside if there's a continuous bell) and other alarms (a klaxon sounding means that the nearby Harwell Nuclear Reactor is in the process of meltdown. The advice given is this happened was to get inside and hide under a table). If both the fire alarm (meaning `get out') and the klaxon (meaning `stay inside') sound, Dr Greenough seemed to think that the advice was to find a substantial building. 2 The Attendees We were given an attendance list on arrival, along with a program. The people attending were divided into the following categories; Chairman 1 Speakers 5 Organisers 2 Participants 49 About 60% of the `Participants' were from universities, a couple of people were from the research council and the rest from `industry'. 3 The Meeting

In this paper we discuss the use of distributed intelligent agents for building a system incorporating the tasks control, diagnosis and repair.
