REU 2004 Computer Science and Engineering Department The University of Texas at Arlington Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Distributed Rational Agents
2
REU 2004 Distributed Rational Agents Research projects will generally involve small groups of students (1 - 3) working with graduate students and a faculty advisor. Research Areas: Intelligent Device Control Connected Devices Home Simulation
3
REU 2004 Distributed Rational Agents Goals: Learn research methodologies Perform research in the context of an on-going project Develop agent technologies Course Requirements: Classroom sessions will cover basic materials Every student will present her/his research results Every student will write a report of the work At the end of the program all results will be presented in an "open-house" workshop
