October 2006: Best-kept secret agent revealed
No longer just the province of specialist sectors, agent-based computing is changing the way systems interact and how they are managed. Agent-based computing has already transformed processes such as automated financial markets trading, logistics, and industrial robotics. Now it is moving into the mainstream commercial sector ...more
