Rethinking Smart Objects
This is the first book to explain the integration of object technology and knowledge software development. Daniel Rasmus has surveyed his own body of work and gathered and reworked the most important and relevant material from his contributions to Object Magazine, in order to explain how to create intelligent software to control and automate the functional units of information created through object technology.
Rethinking Smart Objects
Rethinking Smart Objects is a collection of new material and Daniel W. Rasmus's most important articles on the subject of artificial intelligence (AI), which have been significantly revised and updated. Not just an overview of the role of agents and AI in information technology - Rethinking Smart Objects is about shifting paradigms, bringing about a new view of object-oriented programming. While most books talk about code reuse and collaborative development, this book shifts the emphasis from what is obviously possible to what could be possible with a stretch of the imagination. This book is as useful to non-technical managers as it is to OO developers, and also includes a buyers' guide for people seeking to acquire AI products.
Software Engineering for Large-Scale Multi-Agent Systems
Author: Alessandro Garcia

Release Date: 2003-04-15
Nowadays, engineering large-scale software systems means dealing with complex systems composed of pervasive software components that move around and adapt to nondeterministic and open environments, like the Internet, in order to achieve systems design goals through the coordination of autonomously distributed services. The agent metaphor, in particular software agents and multi-agent systems (MAS), constitutes a promising approach for covering most of the software development life cycle, from conceptual modeling and requirements specification to architectural definition, design, and implementation. This book presents 17 carefully reviewed papers arranged in order to provide a coherent survey of how to exploit agent properties and MAS issues in today's software systems. The book offers the following topical sections: - software engineering foundations - requirements engineering and software architecture - coordination and mobility - reuse -dependability -empirical studies and applications
