Artech House Publishers, 2004 excellent book on agent-based software development This book was really useful in giving me a solid understanding on where agent-based software development really stands. It clearly explains what agents are, where they are useful and what kinds of architectures are used to build them. It presents and, more importantly, *compares* some *real* toolkits that can actually be used to develop agent systems, something that I have not seen in any other ...             2006 Tlvs and Beis: Based on the Documentation of the Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and ...1 review Acgih American Conference of Governmental Industria, 2006 Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents & Biological Exposure Indices It was new and at a price I could afford. As an older student trying to go back to school and work, I don't have all kinds of money to pay the price the university bookstore charges. It really helps buy on line here.             Brownian Agents and Active Particles: Collective Dynamics in the Natural and Social Sciences1 review Frank Schweitzer Springer, 2003 Brownian agents Brownian Agents and Active Particles: Collective Dynamics in the Natural and Social Sciences by Frank Schweitzer The field discussed by the book of Frank Schweitzer has been recently popularized by a novel of Michael Crichton: "Prey".

Agent standards and methodologies from design to implementation, with special reference to planning, scheduling and control systems, are introduced and linked to manufacturing information systems.             Agent-based Supply Network Event Management1 review Birkhäuser Basel, 2006 A Theoretical Approach It should come as no surprise to anyone in business that ripples in the supply chain can grow to tidal waves before they reach the bottom line. One example: an 18 strike at a brake supplier stopped production in 26 General Motors plants. Today everyone wants to minimize inventory, going to some form of Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery of components. This means that the potential for greater disruption ...             Understanding Agent Systems2 reviews Springer, 2001 Useful framework for agents, with helpful case studies. There are several books on intelligent agents and multi-agents systems that I've come across, but most are either too broad-ranging and shallow so that they don't actually get to important core issues, or they're too narrow and mathematical for my liking (and for many others). This excellent book somehow manages to pull off the feat of providing a good introduction to agents, while also drilling ...             Multiagent Systems: A Modern Approach to Distributed Artificial Intelligence5 reviews The MIT Press, 1999 Great Textbook While perhaps this should not be your first book in AI, it should definitely be your first book on agents. It took me years to accumulate the knowledge present in this book, and it's a great survey of the field for the beginning investigator. However, while this is a great way to get started in agents, understand how agents can be used in intelligent applications (from distributed AI type problem ...             Agent-Based Simulation of Robotic Systems1 review Manoleto Z.

The earlier volume is an extremely mature product summarizing the application of computer-intensive mathematical techniques to traditional economic problems--a subject the history of which goes back to the earliest ...             White Monsoon - Morphine Base1 review Scott Nelson, 2009 At a time when Hollywood seems to be out of ideas due to all the remakes of popular TV shows and comics, WHITE MONSOON - Morphin First of all, I have to thank John Adams, whoever he is, for leaving WHITE MONSOON - Morphine Base, in the rear pocket of the seat in front of me. Most of us who read a lot have left a book behind here and there or we'd have a ton in boxes at home. But in this case John wrote, "I read a lot of books but this one is the best I've read this entire year." Well, that's pretty high praise in my way of ...             Platinum-Based Drugs in Cancer Therapy (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development)1 review Humana Press, 2000 Excellent book for chemists This book is aimed at specialists interested in the chemistry and biology of platinum based cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. Unfortunately the level of specific scientific knowledge (required at the university level at the least) to understand key concepts in the book, is very high and is therefore not recommended for readers who are just interested in learning about cancer or chemotherapy. For ...             A Component-Based Multi-Agent System Modeling Methodology: Theory and Application1 review jiexin Lian VDM Verlag, 2009 wonderful book on Petri net theory and application As a scientist working in this area for over 10 years, I am grateful to find publication in the area, go read it, and find out how good it is.             Chemical Formulation: An Overview of Surfactant-based Preparations Used in Everyday Life1 review Royal Society of Chemistry, 2003 Very well written book This book is written nicely in a style that is easy to understand, humourous, infromative and practical. It indeed takes you to an expected destination without boring you with excessive academic facts that can only be understood with a Phd degree.
