Sadly enough, war, conflicts and terrorism appear to stay with us in the 21st century. But what is our outlook on new methods for preventing and ending them? Present-day hard- and software enables the development of large crisis, conflict, and conflict management databases with many variables, sometimes with automated updates, statistical analyses of a high complexity, elaborate simulation models, and even interactive uses of these databases.

In this book, these methods are presented, further developed, and applied in relation to the main issue: the resolution and prevention of...

Progress in computer animation is such that soon computer-generated faces on screen will be indistinguishable from those of real humans. These faces and figures must be guided by autonomous personality agents. This book presents research and developments making synthetic actors more autonomous.

This book will help researchers and engineers in the design of ethical systems for robots, addressing the philosophical questions that arise and exploring modern applications such as assistive robots and self-driving cars. The contributing authors are among the leading academic and industrial researchers on this topic and the book will be of value to researchers, graduate students and practitioners engaged with robot design, artificial intelligence and ethics.

In most scenarios of the future a personalized virtual butler appears. This butler not only performs communication and coordination tasks but also gives recommendations on how to handle everyday problems. The aim of this book is to explore the prerequisites of such a personalized virtual butler by asking: what is known about the capacities and the needs of aging people; which information and communication technologies have been used in assisting/conversing with persons, especially older ones, and what were the results; what are the advantages/disadvantages of virtual butlers as mainly...

This volume contains the texts of 26 lectures andcontributions to the program of the International SummerSchool on Advanced Topics in Artificial Intelligence held inPrague, Czechoslovakia, July 6-17, 1992.The summerschool was intended for (postgraduate) students, researchers and all those who want to learn about recentprogress in both theoretical and applied AI.The papers in the volume are organized into nine parts: - Introduction- Logic and logic programming- Machine learning- Planning and scheduling- Uncertainty- Second generation expert systemsand knowledge engineering- Qualitative...

This book presents selected tutorial lectures given at the summer school on Multi-Agent Systems and Their Applications held in Prague, Czech Republic, in July 2001 under the sponsorship of ECCAI and Agent Link.
The 20 lectures by leading researchers in the field presented in the book give a competent state-of-the-art account of research and development in the field of multi-agent systems and advanced applications. The book offers parts on foundations of MAS; social behaviour, meta-reasoning, and learning; and applications.
