Introduction to the Subject of an Agent in Computer Science - A Perspective on Agent Systems - page 5

To illustrate our considerations, the application of the agent system was presented in
order to counterbalance the distribution of resources in a certain environment.
Subsequent parts of the monograph (Chap. 5 ) include several examples of appli-
cations of the term agent . Descriptions of different examples of applications of agent
systems in such fields as evolution systems, mobile robot systems, artificial intelli-
gence systems are given.
The intention of the author was to present and specify formal aspects connected
with the autonomous term agent as well as the agent system, providing a starting
point for designing and realization of agent systems. These considerations were
made complete with the whole range of various applications that expose interesting
possibilities resulting from the agent approach and technical aspects connected with
system formation of this category.
Certain passages are repeated in the work with the aim of associating particular
problems from one part of the topic with those outlined in different chapters on which
they depend. Therefore it is possible to read certain chapters independently of each
other, which mainly refers to Chaps. 2 and 3 .
In the author's opinion, the whole material presented in the monograph may
constitute an outline of methodology of the design and realization of agent systems
based on the M-agent architecture oriented on different areas of applications.
