Software Agents for Future Communication Systems

From the Publisher: This monograph-like anthology is the first systematic introduction to software agents and their application to future communications systems. Fifteen coherently written chapters by leading software agent researchers provide complementary coverage of the relevant issues. Multi-agent systems and mobile agent approaches are presented, in a well-balanced way and applied to the most important topics in future communications systems. In addition, the volume editors have provided detailed introductory survey chapters.
