Unit 7, Control Systems

2. A quality of autonomous agents where agent senses the environment in which it is and decides what to do, reacting on its perceptions.
3. A green oxygen-giving organism, has a trunk and leaves.
5. A device which is responsible for receiving input from the surroundings.
6. A device which detects or measures a physical property.
7. An input device which is used to control the cursor on a monitor.
11. An input device which can be used by people with disabilities, a substitute for a mouse.
13. A control system which uses colored lights to control traffic.
15. A quality of autonomous agents where the code describing an agent runs continuously like a process, and it not executed on demand.
16. An input device which is used to input letters and numbers.
17. A control system used by taxis to calculate the fare.
18. An input device which can measure temperature.

1. It is computing done at a central location, using terminals that are attached to a central computer. The computer itself may control all the peripherals directly (if they are physically connected to the central computer), or they may be attached via a terminal.
4. A quality of autonomous agents where agents activate alone for a task and are note invoked for a task. Agents can select the task themselves (based on priorities or goal-directed search) without human intervention.
8. A quality of autonomous agents where agents can interact with other agents through communication, in different modes: coordination, cooperation and competition.
9. A loop which uses the previous output for it's input.
10. a computer processor for which the data processing logic and control is included on a single integrated circuit.
12. It is a system in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. The components interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal.
14. A control system used in supermarkets which use sensors to open doors.
