hi,
Recently I was engaged in summing up the r&d in educational technology as a
prepreation for a grant my place is going to get.
In my way I found some info about these agents.
1.At media-lab in MIT you may find info looking on the projects and courses
of Pattie Maes.(casr.www.media.mit.)
2. You may look at escalante.cs.byu.edu/colloquia/johnson/abstract.txt
for an abstract of a project dealing with autonmous agents/
3.D. KIRSH at the Universuty of California in Sun-Diego is planning a MOO with
int. agents with different roles to guide the users.
4. At mobile.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~yjhsu/itla.html is some info on
Teaching/Learning agents.
It is apparent that in the far east (in Japan at Osaka University) they are
engaged in r@d related to ITS (intelligent learning systems).
5.At Leeds University, The Computer Based Learning Unit (J self, P. Brna)
they are working on these subjects.
I hope it helps as a begining

I've used several agents. One good one lay in wait for the subject I
chose to appear in list serve messages on that server (Standford) and
then sent me a list of messages with what I wanted. I have several
other, more active, agents--like EchoSearch--and of course all search
engines qualify, in a dumb way. I haven't used a really good one yet.
But wow, they are very close to ready . . . . A ferret.

Not sure how autonomous these are, but I discovered a rather good new
periodical, The Knowledge Engineering Review, which recently had
a review article on Software Agents that seemed intelligible,
namely,
Software Agents: An Overview, by Hyacinth S. Nwana, The Knowledge
Engineering Review, Vol. 11:3, 1996, p. 205-244.

Subsequent to my query in Humanist 11.343, I did a quick search of the Web
and discovered the following URLs, the first of many:
IBM Intelligent Agents homepage <http://www.networking.ibm.com/iag/iaghome.html>
Intelligent Agents: review of current lit.
<http://www.research.microsoft.com/research/ui/persona/isbister.htm>
Intelligent Agent Technology <http://escalante.cs.byu.edu/~whitehur/agents/>
Intelligent Agents <http://www.augusta.co.uk/isip/sigs/rnr/agents/>
But again my question: does anyone know of an academic use of these, esp. in
the humanities?
Thanks.
