Graduate Year2
Course Description
 This course covers the new agent paradigm in
software engineering, which is regarded as the new
paradigm for future web developments.
 The Java-based JADEX agent platform will be used
to develop agent software. JADEX Programming
labs will be given.
 Also, OWL 2.0 (web ontology language) will be
covered that assists agent communication.
Programming labs with OWL 2.0 will be assigned to
learn the flavour of agents communicating in the
semantic web.
 Some current issues such as agent communication
language, ontology, semantic web and so on will
also be covered.
