Many software developers view evaluation as a burden both because it currently takes significant effort and because most programmers are not trained in it. In the context of the PI's area of expertise (planning and agent design in Artificial Intelligence), the purpose of this project is to address two gaps in current methodology and pedagogy: the dearth of evaluation methods for AI software agents and the absence of empirical and evaluation methods in the undergraduate and graduate computer science curricula. Towards these ends, the research component creates new methods for evaluation that support AI agent design and development in the context of two agent projects: a simulated robot and an information gathering agent for the WWW. The teaching component integrates evaluation methods into the undergraduate and graduate CS curriculum by incorporating modules into existing courses where possible and designing new courses where necessary. Each component exploits existing and new research projects for exploring issues of evaluation in motivating design. The expected results are not only new software evaluation methods, documented examples of their use and two thoroughly evaluated software agents, but also experienced, new practitioners.

许多软件开发人员将评估视为一种负担， 目前 需要付出巨大的努力， 因为 大多数程序员没有接受过这方面的培训。在PI的专业领域的背景下，（人工智能中的规划和代理设计），该项目的目的是解决当前方法和教学法中的两个差距：缺乏对人工智能软件代理的评估方法，以及在本科生和研究生计算机中缺乏经验和评估方法科学课程。 为了实现这些目标，研究组件创建新的方法进行评估，支持AI代理的设计和开发的背景下，两个代理项目：一个模拟的机器人和信息收集代理的WWW。 教学 组件将评估方法集成到 在可能的情况下，将单元纳入现有课程，并在必要时设计新课程。 每个组件都利用现有的 新的研究 项目，以探讨 评价 在激励设计中。预期的结果不仅是新的软件评估方法，他们的使用和两个彻底评估的软件代理，但也有经验的，新的从业者记录的例子。
