This book is a practical resource designed to help developers master the art of building sophisticated AI agents. As artificial intelligence evolves from simple reactive programs to autonomous entities capable of understanding context and making complex decisions, this book provides the essential Design Patterns and proven techniques needed to construct intelligent systems effectively. Each of the 21 Design Patterns represents a fundamental building block for creating agents that can perceive their environment, make informed decisions, and execute actions autonomously.Agentic Design Patterns: A Hands-On Guide to Building Intelligent Systems is structured as a comprehensive hands-on guide, with each chapter dedicated to a single agentic pattern. Within each chapter, you will find a detailed pattern overview, practical applications and use cases, one or more hands-on code example, and key takeaways for quick review. From foundational concepts such as Prompt Chaining and Tool Use to advan

This book is the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Autonomous Remanufacturing (IWAR 2024) and contains contributions from innovators in autonomous remanufacturing to strengthen the body of knowledge on design, modelling and control of remanufacturing processes and systems. Remanufacturing has been identified as having significant financial and environment benefits; however, critical challenges still remain in designing and operating remanufacturing processes and systems. These challenges are complex, spanning all product life cycles and encompassing multiple disciplines within and outside of engineering. In particular, the book showcases the work of experts on reverse logistics optimization, designing products for disassembly, and advancements in remanufacturing automation. These topics are currently at the forefront of discussions among leading industries and researchers.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Conference on IoT and Big Data Technologies for Health Care, IoTCARE 2024, which took place December 7-8, 2024, in Leicester, UK. The conference aims to provide a forum for presentation and discussion the state-of-art and future perspectives of Internet of Things and big data of health care. Industry experts, researchers and academics gather to share ideas and experiences surrounding frontier technologies, breakthroughs, innovative solutions and research results, as well as initiatives related to IoT and health care, and their applications. The topic focuses on the convergence of IoT and big data technologies for e-health, e-care, lifestyle, aging population, smart personal living, etc., applications.
