Like human agents, Internet agents can move independently in a network of locations to perform their tasks, all the while making independent decisions. Their behavior can provide astonishing solutions not even dreamed of today. Mobile Agents will help you understand their amazing potential for business applications and show you in detail how to create and use the power of agent technologies.
A guide to creating and using Internet agent technologies, this book provides insights into every major agent system, including Telescript, Agent Tcl, Ara and Java-based Aglets. It clearly defines and explains agent technology, terminology and concepts. It offers a complete overview of essential agent concepts and terminology, with agent development environments and sample agents on CD-ROM. The book describes the state-of-the art in Internet agents, and the likely future of agent technology.
