Talk:Intelligent agent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
re merge: Due to the extensive rework required for the suggested merger of the mentioned atricles, I took the libirty to create this article from scratch. As stated in their discussions artificial intelligence agent focuses on "agent environments" and intelligent agents on bot-type software agents. I suggest that these articles be renamed/merged as such. I do however invite the authors of those articles to contribute to this new article where appropriate. Please comment. --moxon 10:36, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "agents" / merge
In my experience there are three communities who claim the word "agent":
- the animat community, who use the word to refer to either robots or animals (though they sometimes will accept VR agents these days)
- the agent-based modelling people, who are mostly social scientists and use fairly trivial agents to do fairly cool research.
- the software agent people, who are basically logicians and software engineers, but do use (neat) AI and are also the most organized.
I'm not sure this article is going to go anywhere if it doesn't clearly engage with at least one of those communities. Though there are some other people who use agent as you do, notably Russel & Norvig. That is, sort of as a generic expression for a strong AI system with no particular attachment to a research community.--81.6.234.170 21:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Different types of intelligent agents not related
If it is interactive and adaptive, IMO it is an IA --moxon 12:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] References
The references on this page need a serious review! The first reference (Kasavbov) does not contain any of the information stated on the page. The relevant information might be somewhere else in the journal but it is not in the Introduction (which is referenced). Further there are hyperlinks to references 3 and 4 that take you nowhere since references 3 and 4 don´t exist. --Shadowselfs 07:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] This should be divided into two articles
There should be (at least) two separed articles:"Intelligent agent" and "Intelligent agent(computer science)" Current article is confusing and if no-one objects I will create the second article and move half of the text there.82.130.8.142 (talk) 19:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Intelligent agents should not be part (in the Scope of?) of Robotics
The research on Intelligent Agents is not a subpart of robotics, althought some work of robotic is inspired by the work on Intelligent Agents. Actually, research on Intelligent Agents can be rather be considered as a sub-part of the research conducted on Software agents.
Exemple of group conducting research in this area:
Other terms to be added:
- believable agents
- emboddied agents (or interface agents).
- Note: only how the agents appear to the users via artificial characters
- cognitive agents
- reactive agents —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabeth (talk • contribs) 15:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
