本书记录了DARPA自主谈判团队计划的结果，该计划使用传感器网络测试平台来说明其进步的效用。从本质上讲，这就是我不喜欢这本书的原因。我发现把这本书作为传感器网络的书来推销是用词不当的。这是一本技术书籍。人工智能的一些方面我一直很警惕。其中一些可以追溯到我工作过的一家法国人工智能公司，该公司破产了。我的一位教授将人工智能专业称为“保证失业的最佳方式”，这可能并没有扭转这种趋势。技术是我一直在犹豫的一个问题。有一些代理人研究小组，我非常钦佩，在圣达菲研究所和宾夕法尼亚州立大学的Soundar Kumara的人，例如。但对于未经清洗的大量代理文件，我一直觉得我是在看一个蛇油小贩。这种态度使我看到一本代理技术书籍作为传感器网络文本销售时的感觉更加鲜明。在代理技术方面，这些文章可能代表了该领域的进步。在传感器网络技术方面，我发现所解决的问题是人为的和不切实际的。我发现提出的解决办法不是很有用。我真的不喜欢这本书。
This book documents results from the DARPA Autonomous Negotiating Teams program, which used a sensor network testbed to illustrate the utility of their advances. That, in essence, is what I dislike about this book. I find it a misnomer to market this book as a sensor networks book. It is an agents technology book. There are some aspects of artificial intelligence that I have always been wary of. Some of this goes back to a French AI company I worked for that went bankrupt. One of my professors referring to an AI specialty as the ‘‘best way to guarantee being unemployed’’ probably did nothing to counter that tendency. Agents technology is one area that I have always been hesitant about. There are some agents research groups that I greatly admire, the people at the Santa Fe Institute and Soundar Kumara at Penn State, for example. But for the unwashed masses of agents papers, I have always felt like I was watching a snake oil peddler. This attitude colors my feeling of seeing an agents technology book marketed as a sensor network text. In terms of agents technologies, the articles probably represent advances in the art. In terms of sensor networks technologies, I found the problems addressed to be contrived and unrealistic. I found the solutions proposed to be not very useful. I really did not like this book.
