✦ Synopsis

This monograph presents an integrated approach to agent theory. It introduces new concepts in the area of intelligent and adaptive agents in various contexts. Agents of different orders of complexity are presented including different levels of intelligence, uncertainty, and adaptation. The book introduces the abstract theory of adaptive agents as well as their applications to brain functions, robotics, or physical domains such as sound, gravity or electromagnetic fields.
