Fuzzy-Neuro Approach to Agent Applications: From the AI Perspective to Modern Ontology / Edition 1

by Raymond S.T. Lee

Overview

“Anything happens must have its own reason ”. Although I cannot really recall exactly when I heard of this statement for the first time, it is always in my mind and in fact it has been one of the motivations for me to carry out research and study. When I asked myself again about the purpose of writing this book at the time of writing this preface, several “add on” rea sons that had never occurred to me at the start of writing this book in the spring of 2003 surprisingly came up. Back then, when I was preparing the progress report for the iJADE (2. 0) project, a “fuzzy” idea of whether it was feasible to write a book on intelli gent agents came to my mind. This book not only would discuss and deal with the theory but also the “spin off” applications from the iJADE pro ject, including: the iJADE WeatherMan, the iJADE Sk Advisor, the iJADE Surveillant and the latest works on iJADE Negotiator. The fact that I had to launch the iJADE development kit officially over the Web in the summer of 2003 (http://www. ijadk. org) and to arrange courses and semi nars to teach and train our undergraduate students to make use of this tool kit further supported the idea and the future use of this book. Hence, the “archetype” of this book emerged.
