Agent-based computing is a very promising philosophy that has contributed both theoretical and applied technologies to a diverse range of academic disciplines, including the humanities, the sciences and social sciences. It is emerging as a new way of thinking, a conceptual paradigm for analysing problems and for designing systems. Agent methods provide a mechanism for dealing with complexity, distribution and interactivity, and may potentially provide a new perspective on computing and intelligence.
The of Agent-Based Computing is to tackle some fundamental research issues in agent technologies and promote the applications in other disciplines, with emphasis in agent-based hybrid intelligent systems, agent-directed simulation in engineering, bioinformatics and computational biology. The mission of the incubator is to greatly stimulate interdisciplinary research, not only within the faculty, but also across the university.
Currently, members of the incubator are undertaking the following activities:
