Is there a need for Agents? Computer trends
- ubiquity
- Interconnection
- intelligence
- delegation
- human-orientation
YES!!
3
Is there a need for Agents? Computer trends
- ubiquity
- Distributed software according to the current
spread out of processing capabilities into devices
- Interconnection
- Computers are now networked.
- Computing as a process of interaction
4
Is there a need for Agents? Computer trends
- intelligence
- We are willing to ask computers to cope with more
sophisticated tasks
- delegation
- We are giving control to computers
- Ex automatic pilots
5
Is there a need for Agents? Computer trends
- human-orientation
- Programmers conceptualize and implement software
in terms of higher-level, - more human-oriented abstractions
- (Programs that are User-friend)
6
Is there a need for Agents? Progress on Software
Paradigms
- From machine code
- assembly language
- machine-independent programming languages
- sub-routines
- procedures functions
- abstract data types
- objects
- to agents.
7
Is there a need for Agents? Agents, what for?
- The ability of computer systems to act
independently - The ability of computer systems to act in a way
that represents our best interests while
interacting with other humans or systems
- Autonomy Pro-activity Interactivity
8
Is there a need for Agents?
- Global Computing needs, lead us to
- Autonomous Agents
- and
- Multi-Agent Systems
9
Is there a need for Agents?
- A Multi-agent system is one that consists of a
number of agents, which interact with one-another - to cooperate, coordinate, and negotiate with
each other
10
Agents?
- A Computational entity situated in the
environment and displaying a degree of autonomy ,
reactivity and pro-activity
11
Is there a need for Agents?
- Agent concept extended for
- Neural Networks
- Evolutionary Programming
- Multi-Agent Systems with
- Swarm Intelligence
