Distributed Intelligent Agents: A New Approach to Distributed Artificial Intelligence in Robotic Systems

摘要

In this modern era of knowledge explosion, one of the most exciting research areas is Artificial Intelligence (AT). In this paper we investigate more specifically the theory and design of a new area of AI labeled distributed intelligent agents, whose development encompasses a broad variety of applications. From robots to lunar landers, this technology holds great promise for providing intelligence to systems that has either required human interaction or whose programming was so complex and expensive as to render it useless. The design specifications given in this paper will provide a research and development framework for a marriage of distributed artificial intelligence, intelligent agents, and distributed parallel processing called Distributed Intelligent Agents (DIA).
