Contents:

The course focuses on the use of Distributed Artificial Intelligence methods, and more specifically of Intelligent Agents Technologies, for development of complex distributed software systems. The course consists of two parts: theory-oriented (Vagan Terziyan) and practice-oriented (Michael Cochez). The theory-oriented part of the course reviews appropriate AI methods and technologies. It provides knowledge about autonomous intelligent agents, agent technologies, mobility of agents, agent platforms, multi-agent systems, agent communication, agent coordination, agent negotiation, agent intelligence, agent-based industrial applications and systems. The practice-oriented part of the course focuses on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems as a novel software development paradigm (also known as agent-oriented software engineering), one especially suited for distributed systems. Technical students will get a hands-on experience and program with an agent platform. Business-oriented students will study how agent-based systems can be applied in business contexts. The course is lectured in English.
