The ongoing transition of Intelligent Systems Research and in particular the agent based research into the real world has resulted in the emergence of new phenomena distinct from the traditional logic-centered approach. This book focuses on those new trends in design and evolution of the agent technology such as humanization, architectures and learning of agents. Design of Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems presents the application of soft computing agents to complex real world problems in distributed environments, humanization of the agents and the optimization of their performance.

Intelligent Decision Support Systems have the potential to transform human decision making by combining research in artificial intelligence, information technology, and systems engineering. The field of intelligent decision making is expanding rapidly due, in part, to advances in artificial intelligence and network-centric environments that can deliver the technology.  Communication and coordination between dispersed systems can deliver just-in-time information, real-time processing, collaborative environments, and globally up-to-date information to a human decision maker.  At the same time, artificial intelligence techniques have demonstrated that they have matured sufficiently to provide computational assistance to humans in practical applications.  This book includes contributions from leading researchers in the field beginning with the foundations of human decision making and the complexity of the human cognitive system. Researchers contrast human and artificial intelligence, survey computational intelligence, present pragmatic systems, and discuss future trends. This book will be an invaluable resource to anyone interested in the current state of knowledge and key research gaps in the rapidly developing field of intelligent decision support.

Intelligent paradigms are increasingly finding their ways in the design and development of decision support systems. This book presents a sample of recent research results from key researchers. The contributions include: Introduction to intelligent systems in decision making - A new method of ranking intuitionistic fuzzy alternatives - Fuzzy rule base model identification by bacterial memetic algorithms - Discovering associations with uncertainty from large databases - Dempster-Shafer structures, monotonic set measures and decision making - Interpretable decision-making models - A general methodology for managerial decision making - Supporting decision making via verbalization of data analysis results using linguistic data summaries - Computational intelligence in medical decisions making.This book is directed to the researchers, graduate students, professors, decision makers and to those who are interested to investigate intelligent paradigms in decision making.

Intelligent agents are one of the most promising business tools in our information rich world. An intelligent agent consists of a software system capable of performing intelligent tasks within a dynamic and unpredictable environment. They can be characterised by various attributes including: autonomous, adaptive, collaborative, communicative, mobile, and reactive. Many problems are not well defined and the information needed to make decisions is not available. These problems are not easy to solve using conventional computing approaches. Here, the intelligent agent paradigm may play a major role in helping to solve these problems. This book, written for application researchers, covers a broad selection of research results that demonstrate, in an authoritative and clear manner, the applications of agents within our information society.
