Books in the Wiley Series in Agent Technology series

Presents a guide to spoken dialogue technology and current research trends. Provides an overview of human factors in dialogue systems and delivers a new metaphor for human-computer interaction, computer as agent. Explains the architecture of dialogue systems using examples from systems such as Interact, DUMAS, QA and Eliza and Alice.

Here is the first book to include a step--by--step process of how to design intelligent agents. Providing a full life--cycle methodology for developing intelligent agent systems, Developing Autonomous Agent Systems present a thoroughly developed and tested methodology to developing intelligent agent technologies.

Providing an introduction to the field of Conversational Informatics from an engineering perspective, Engineering Approaches to Conversational Informatics emphasizes the integration of engineering and scientific approaches to understanding and augmenting conversations.

This book provides a detailed, practical guide to building multi-agent systems using Jason, one of the most prominent agent programming languages. The authors give brief introductions to multi-agent systems and the Belief-Desire-Intention agent architecture (on which AgentSpeak is based), before explaining Jason's AgentSpeak Language.

Learn how to employ JADE to build multi-agent systems! JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment framework) is a middleware for the development of applications, both in the mobile and fixed environment, based on the Peer-to-Peer intelligent autonomous agent approach.

The book focuses on mobile agents, which are computer programs that can autonomously migrate between network sites. This text introduces the concepts and principles of mobile agents, provides an overview of mobile agent technology, and focuses on applications in networking and distributed computing.

This book provides an introduction, discussion, and formal-based modelling of trust theory and its applications in agent-based systems This book gives an accessible explanation of the importance of trust in human interaction and, in general, in autonomous cognitive agents including autonomous technologies.

What makes teamwork tick? Cooperation matters, in daily life and in complex applications. After all, many tasks need more than a single agent to be effectively performed. Therefore, teamwork rules! Teams are social groups of agents dedicated to the fulfilment of particular persistent tasks.
