This course focuses on intelligent agents from their mechanisms to their applications in different domains. The intelligence of a system is stressed throughout the course by applying different techniques from artificial intelligence and expert systems. Intelligent agents are proactive entities that are capable of residing in different platforms. A multiagent system consists of a multiple number of agents by utilizing the cooperation ability in agents. Furthermore, the development of a multiagent system is conducted based on software engineering practices.
The goal is to understand intelligent agent systems from theoretical and practical points of view.
