The rapid growth of handheld technology over the last decade has led to unprecedented expansion in the software market. This trend is evident in the recent iPhone application Development “gold rush.” It is obvious that consumers enjoy certain benefits from the wide array of apps that are available. However, an application that provided intelligent interaction with the user could customize all applications to the user’s specific needs and preferences. An intelligent agent (ia) approach has been absent from the application explosion.
The objective of this summer research project under the direction of Dr. Gerald Pitts, Caruth Distinguished Professor, is to investigate the feasibility of intelligent agent (IA) control of applications in the iPhone and iPod touch devices. The Successful analysis, design, development and demonstration of an intelligent Agent managed application should provide evidence of the utility of autonomous intelligent agent (AIA) management of the entire device. The intelligence will be generated from a customized inference engine in concert with learned knowledge-base. The user will interact with the intelligent agent (ia) via a dashboard, toolbar, or control panel.
