Decentralized A.I
Author: Y. Demazeau
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 044459924X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Much research in Artificial Intelligence deals with a single agent having complete control over the world. A variation of this is Distributed AI (DAI), which is concerned with the collaborative solution of global problems by a distributed group of entities. This book deals with Decentralized AI (DzAI), which is concerned with the activity of an autonomous agent in a multi-agent world. The word ``agent'' is used in a broad sense, to designate an intelligent entity acting rationally and intentionally with respect to its goals and the current state of its knowledge. A number of these agents coexist and may collaborate with other agents in a common world; each agent may accomplish its own tasks, or cooperate with other agents to perform a personal or global task. The agents have imperfect knowledge about each other and about their common world, which they can update either through perception of the world, or by communication with each other.The papers were originally presented at a workshop held at King's College, Cambridge, and have been revised for this book.

Book Description
In the rapidly evolving field of digital security, image steganography has emerged as a vital technique for embedding secret information within digital images, ensuring both privacy and data integrity. "IMAGE STEGANOGRAPHY: Least Significant Bit (LSB) with AES, DES, RSA, ECC, and ELGAMAL Cryptosystem: LEARN BY EXAMPLES WITH PYTHON AND TKINTER" delves into the intricate world of steganography, exploring how the Least Significant Bit (LSB) method can be employed in conjunction with robust cryptographic algorithms to enhance data concealment. This book provides a comprehensive guide to integrating classic and modern encryption techniques, including AES, DES, RSA, ECC, and ElGamal, within the realm of image steganography. Through practical examples and hands-on projects using Python and Tkinter, readers will gain a deep understanding of how to implement these cryptographic systems to securely encode and decode hidden messages within images. The book is designed to cater to both novices and experienced developers, offering clear explanations, detailed code examples, and user-friendly Tkinter interfaces for building and testing steganographic applications. By the end of this journey, readers will not only master the art of image-based data hiding but also develop a strong foundation in integrating advanced cryptographic methods with real-world applications. Project 1 and 2 successfully combines user-friendly design with effective data concealment techniques. By leveraging the Least Significant Bit (LSB) method, the application allows users to encode and decode text messages within images with ease. The integration of the Python Imaging Library (PIL) for image manipulation and Tkinter for the graphical interface ensures that users can interact with the program effortlessly, focusing on the functionality rather than the underlying technical complexities. The application’s dual-tab interface for encoding and decoding provides a seamless user experience, allowing users to visually compare original and encoded images, and retrieve hidden messages with immediate feedback. As an educational tool, it offers practical insight into the principles of steganography and image processing, making it accessible to individuals with varying levels of technical expertise. Overall, this project demonstrates a successful implementation of steganographic techniques in a user-friendly and interactive format, enhancing both learning and practical application of data concealment methods.
