「這是關於建構 AI 代理人系統最棒的單冊入門指南――你可以去讀數百篇論文，或是只讀這一本書。」 ――Arun Rao，Meta GenAI前團隊成員，UCLA 兼任教授 生成式 AI 已經徹底改變了組織解決問題的方式，加速了從概念、原型到解決方案的旅程。隨著模型變得越來越強大，我們見證了一種新的設計模式出現：AI 代理人。透過將工具、知識、記憶與學習，跟先進的基礎模型結合在一起，我們現在可以將多次模型推論串接起來，藉此解決定義模糊且困難的問題。從編寫代理人程式碼、研究代理人到分析代理人等等，我們已經看到代理人加速了團隊與組織的運作。雖然這些代理人提升了效率，但它們通常需要廣泛的規劃、草擬與修改才能完成複雜的任務，而且對許多組織來說，部署它們仍然是一項挑戰，尤其是在技術與研究快速發展的當下。 在這個錯綜複雜且快速演進的領域中，本書是你不可或缺的指南。作者 Michael Albada 提供了一套結合實務與研究的方法，用於設計與實作單一代理人及多代理人系統。本書簡化了其中的複雜性，並提供所需的工具，讓你能更高效將概念轉化為實際解決方案。 • 了解由基礎模型驅動的 AI 代理人所具備的獨特功能 • 探索 AI 代理人的核心元件與設計原則 • 探討設計上的權衡取捨，並實作有效的多代理人系統 • 設計並部署量身打造的 AI 解決方案，促進你所在領域的效率與創新

Value-added tax (VAT) dominates tax systems around the world. But should every country have a VAT? Is VAT always as good as it could be in economic, equity and administrative terms? In developing and transitional countries the answers to such questions are critical to stability, growth and development. VAT is a critical fiscal tool in most countries. But VAT can sometimes be better designed and almost always better administered. The key questions that must be answered in designing and implementing VAT are essentially the same in all countries. But different tax designs may best suit different countries facing different circumstances. This book reviews experiences with VATs around the world and assesses how the choice of particular design features may affect outcomes in particular contexts.

With the rapid growth of new wireless devices and applications over the past decade, the demand for wireless radio spectrum is increasing relentlessly. The development of cognitive radio networking provides a framework for making the best possible use of limited spectrum resources, and it is revolutionising the telecommunications industry. This book presents the fundamentals of designing, implementing, and deploying cognitive radio communication and networking systems. Uniquely, it focuses on game theory and its applications to various aspects of cognitive networking. It covers in detail the core aspects of cognitive radio, including cooperation, situational awareness, learning, and security mechanisms and strategies. In addition, it provides novel, state-of-the-art concepts and recent results. This is an ideal reference for researchers, students and professionals in industry who need to learn the applications of game theory to cognitive networking.

First published in 1998, this textbook is a broad but rigourous survey of the theoretical basis for the design, definition and implementation of programming languages and of systems for specifying and proving programme behaviour. Both imperative and functional programming are covered, as well as the ways of integrating these aspects into more general languages. Recognising a unity of technique beneath the diversity of research in programming languages, the author presents an integrated treatment of the basic principles of the subject. He identifies the relatively small number of concepts, such as compositional semantics, binding structure, domains, transition systems and inference rules, that serve as the foundation of the field. Assuming only knowledge of elementary programming and mathematics, this text is perfect for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses in programming language theory and also will appeal to researchers and professionals in designing or implementing
