Software Agent

Software Agent Acknowledgement Acknowledgement First, I would like to give my greatest appreciation to my project advisor, Dr. S. K. Chang. Without his guidance, this project would never have been completed so well. He continuously provided me great ideas to improve both my program and my programming ability. Gharib who have given so much to me so that I could learn as much as I could in these two years. Their classes were well prepared in a systematic way, therefore, students, like me without any computer science background could easily get into this area. It is also because of them that I became interested in computer science. They prepared me well with the fundamental knowledge and skills about the hardware and software of computers. Finally, I want to thank my school, Knowledge Systems Institute for giving me this chance to get into the field of computer information science. All the staff and faculty always try their best to assist me whenever I needed them to. They also worked as hard as possible to make our learning environment better everyday. Without them, I would never have this opportunity to finish my first software project as a programmer. Abstract Abstract " Agent " and " agent software " have become popular words in computer software. The reason why this area gains the popularity is because it is based upon AI (Artificial Intelligence) but works only in its specific field, like a narrowly focused AI program. Agent software has been developed for many different uses in a variety of areas because of its extraordinary ability of adapting to the specific field of interest. This project first presents an overview of the software agent, which starts from the introduction of the definition of the software agent, its terminology, its formal
