Software Agents for Future Communication Systems: . Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I eagerly waited this book, and was not dissappointed. This book covers in 15 chapters one of the hottest topics in computer advancements - intellegent agents and their important role in future comm based systems.The first two chapters are an introduction to the subject, begining withthe low level details, so each can find his/her way and feel right at home.The rest 13 chapters introduce different problems by various groups ofauthors and researchers and their approach to the presented problem. Thisbook is an eye opener and provocator. I like the diversity and approch, aswell as always having the pleasure of reading such excellent work. This isnot a technical book, and as such is a great starting point to the excitingarea of intelligent agents. If you are starting your way, or would like tohave a good look around this is definately the book for you. If you want amore technical book, the "Multiagent Systems : A Modern Approach toDistributed Artificial Intelligence" by Gerhard Weiss is a betterresource. But All in all, I love this book!
