Features: This book is divided into two parts. The first part systematically elaborates on the status of artificial intelligence in the network era, the principles and architecture of intelligent agents, agent communication mechanisms, multi-agent systems, security mechanisms for mobile agents, agent-oriented software design, and typical agent system examples. The second part systematically discusses the application of agent technology in modern network technologies, including network computing and peer-to-peer computing, network information retrieval, intrusion detection, workflow, mobile database systems, e-commerce, distance education, dynamic middleware, and distributed network management systems. This book adopts a system and narrative method that is easy for readers to understand, providing an in-depth and gradual introduction to help readers grasp the main content of intelligent agent technology, which is highly enlightening. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate students, master's, and doctoral students in computer science and technology, electronic information, as well as network and communication disciplines. It is also of significant reference value for scientists and engineers engaged in distributed computing, distributed artificial intelligence, and the research and development of information network application systems.
