I have been review the above book for Bill.
The book was written in 1998 by Joseph and Jennifer Bigus.
- Very dated
- Description of AI seems dated
- Newer product that us Java for Agents are not discussed
- JADE: http://jade.tilab.com/
- Open Source for developing Agents
- FIPA compliant: http://www.fipa.org/
- book
- latest version JADE 4.1 on 13/07/2011
- Repast: http://repast.sourceforge.net/index.html
- Agent simulation
- It has been implied that since it is only simulation is doesn't need to be FIPA compliant
- Newer version of book
- 2001
- http://www.amazon.com/Constructing-Intelligent-Agents-Using-Java/dp/047139601X
- discusses FIPA
- discusses JADE
- can buy for $5 plus $4 shipping ($9)
Just to store some of the things about IA I found doing a brief search:
- http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-intelligentage/
- Talks about different kinds of agents
- JACK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JACK_Intelligent_Agents
- Framework in Java for IAs
- Commercial Product, can download and use for 60 days
- JPL (JACK Plan Language)
- can have a small footprint?
- JADE
- http://blog.strobotics.com.au/2006/06/16/java-intelligent-agents/
- User's experience with JADE
- small memory footprint
- General page on IA
- http://ai.ijs.si/mezi/agentsrepository/index.html
- Dated books
- JADE
- Aglets
- ABLE: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/able
The newer version of the book still look like a de facto standard.
Is this book on Jade more applicable?
