Expectations and deployment of agent technology in manufacturing and defence: case studies

Agent technology provides the manufacturing and defence with novel technological concept. This concept has been deployed in a number of different application throughout last few years. This contribution provides the readers with several case studies of agent deployment both in manufacturing and defence. Based on our experience the generalization of agents' applicability in these industry sectors is provided. We also discuss matching of the industry demands and expectations with agent technology promisees and real performance.
