Short description The creation of intelligent agents in software has recently become a large component of Internet-based computing. One feature which is crucial to the success of these agent systems is that they be platform independent, or capable of running on any type of computer present on the network. This is the primary appeal of the new Java programming language. Application fields include economic and military simulations, control engineering in a distributed environment, and management of complex infrastructures such as air and space defense systems. This title provides several examples and demos of the WAVE language used to solve problems in a distributed environment. The book teaches readers how to optimize computer network performance, efficiently manage databases, and how to search numerous computers for a specific piece of information.
