Artificial intelligence is developing towards four goals – to create systems that think or act like humans, as well as systems that think or act rationally. In this study course students acquire knowledge about a modern approach to artificial intelligence – development of intelligent agents. The study course is focused on properties, environment, architectures and programmes of intelligent agents, logical agents, planning, uncertain knowledge and reasoning, making simple and complex decisions, inductive learning, learning decision trees, neural networks and reinforcement learning. In development of a course work students must use their theoretical knowledge for implementation of agent based intelligent systems and analysis of their performance.
