Software agents in information systems and industrial applications

More about the book

Software Agents are an emerging technology offering many possibilities for structuring distributed systems. Although this promising approach is not new, a breakthrough in commercial products is still to come. In order to explore and expose the opportunities for Agent-Based systems, Fraunhofer IITB has hosted the first international workshop on Software Agents in Information Systems and Industrial Applications (SAISIA) in February 2006. The talks given at the SAISIA-Workshop have covered a broad range of issues from the topics "Information Systems", "Industrial Applications" and "Future Developments in Agent-Based Systems". Special regard has been given to commercially relevant applications of Agent-Based systems.
