Sinopsis

This book enhances the robustness of MAS applied in the information systems domain through an underlying middleware; this middleware provides formal guarantees on the robustness of the system by itself and independently of the original structure of the MAS architecture. Much of today`s progress in IT is due to interdisciplinary approaches - or to changing viewpoints on a particular problem. This monograph is an excellent example of such an interdisciplinary approach that brings together database knowledge rarely concerned with agents, and agent techniques that have had little to do with database technology.

Reseña del editor

The term “agent” is one of those catchwords that mean widely differing things to different people. To telecommunications people it is little more than a mobile piece of code that may be executed at any place. At the other extreme, AI people often associate with agents human-like traits such as social behavior. In between, software people view agents as fairly self-contained pieces of software that, at the low end, pretty much act like objects and, at the high end, more or less auto- mously decide when and how to react to stimuli or proactively initiate effects that can be observed from their environment. Software agents are particularly important when it comes to distributed en- ronments. There, much of the communication takes place asynchronously, that is the sequence of events cannot be planned ahead in all detail. Instead, agents are given rules as to how to interpret the current situation and, given a common goal, so that they adjust their response accordingly.
