Research and Teaching on Agents in the University of Tampere
Agents have interested the teachers and researchers at the
Department of Computer and Information Sciences since the
early 1990's. The work undertaken so far has produced two agent systems and several research
papers in scientific journals and conferences.
Research
The main theme in research has been agent based learning environments where the multiple actors
in a learning environments are providing engaging and challenging opportunities to learn for the
human learner. First prototypes on this area were constructed already in 1990. Another theme
is information filtering. We have built a system that filters information on the Web and
newsgroups. Some research on mobile agents has been carried out.
Teaching
Teaching on agents started in 1995 as seminars at the undergraduate level and these seminars
have continued every so often. The first course on Agent Programming in Java was given in
1997 and will be lectured every second year. The course on AI Programming Techniques provides a
good basic coverage of related themes (in Prolog). This course is given every second year.
