A computer program that is given a specific task that can be done without user assistance. Programs that automatically search the Internet for information or know to defragment a hard disk at a certain time are examples.
A software routine that uses 'intelligence' to do an assigned task. For example, searching through the web for pages that match your personal tastes.
An automated network information gathering tool, which cruises the Internet, searching indexes and databases for the names of documents on subjects specified by the user. Sometimes referred to as a Knowbot.
an agent with an initial knowledge, having the capability for learning
an object with its own knowledge and information base
a piece of software that does things on your behalf
a piece of software which acts in a semi-autonomous way to perform tasks intelligently
a program that models the information space for a user, and allows the user to specify how the information is to be processed
a program that performs functions, such as information gathering, information filtering, or mediation running, in the background on behalf of a person or entity
a program that roams the Web on the behalf of a user, looking for information and web sites relevant to that user
a program, which help the user to perform repetitive tasks, summarize the data, and also in the decision making process
a robot that automatically searches good online sites for information that is of interest to you
a set of independent software tools linked with other applications and databases running within one or several computer environments
a software program that is capable of emulating human behavior such as a travel agent or an insurance agent
a software program that uses some degree of intelligence to execute a task without user supervision
a system that can perform a task based on intelligence learned or rules provided
A program that performs some information gathering or processing task in the background. Typically, an agent is a given a very small and well-defined task.
A program that automates teh task of finding information on the internet, perhaps delivering a list of news stories on a particular topic on the desktop every morning.
A computer program that searches the Web in order to collect and assemble information from multiple online resources.
A program that gathers information for you automatically, on a regular schedule. You set up an agent program by answering a series of questions that it uses to find out about you and your preferences. Then you sit back and it does the work
A program that gathers information or performs some other service on a regular basis without immediate presence of the user. In general the intelligent agent draws on factors provided by the user to search, gather the information required, and present it to the user on a daily or periodic basis.
A piece of software using artificial intelligence techniques that operates autonomously against a set of rules. A common type of agent is one that roams the Internet and searches out information. Other types filter incoming information and messages for items of relevance to particular users.
A subset of the Oracle Enterprise Manager software which resides on a host. The Oracle Intelligent Agent executes all tasks scheduled at the console for its particular host.
A software routine that waits in the background and performs an action when a specified event occurs. For example, agents could transmit a summary file on the first day of the month or monitor incoming data and alert the user when certain transactions have arrived.
Intelligent agents are tools that make Internet search engines more intelligent. That is to say, they not only reflect the frequency of occurrence of words, but also the meaning of a text.
Programs, used extensively on the Web, that perform tasks such as retrieving and delivering information and automating repetitive tasks. More than 50 companies are currently developing intelligent agent software or services, including Firefly and WiseWire.
Experimental AI software designed to sift through masses of information available in the future world of cyberspace to suggest topics of interest or importance for an individual.
An object within a server that performs various requests (such as HTTP, NNTP, SMTP, and FTP requests) on behalf of the user. In a sense, the intelligent agent acts as a client to the server, making requests that the server fulfills.
On the Internet, an intelligent agent (or simply an agent) is a program that gathers information or performs some other service without your immediate presence and on some regular schedule.
A software program that performs a human-style processing task, e.g., upselling customer by suggesting additional products.
A program, usually small in scope and size that represents a person, a system or an organization in the context of automating a task or a part of a task. Intelligent agents will typically gather information, apply business logic to that information and deliver information as a result of that logic to a person, an organization and/or another system.
Any software program that independently asks questions, pays attention to work patterns, and carries out tasks on behalf of a user. 11.29
Software tools that help you find web sites. The idea is that you provide it information about what you are interested in and the agent finds the information more "intelligently" that a search engine would.
A program that regularly gathers information without the owner being present.
In computer science, an intelligent agent (IA) is a software agent that exhibits some form of artificial intelligence that assists the user and will act on their behalf, in performing non-repetitive computer-related tasks. While the working of software agents used for operator assistance or data mining (sometimes referred to as bots) is often based on fixed pre-programmed rules, "intelligent" here implies the ability to adapt and learn.
