Telecommunication systems become more dynamic and complex with the introduction, amongst other features, of new services, mobility and active networks. The use of artificial intelligence and intelligent agents, integrating reasoning, learning, co-operating and mobility capacities to provide predictive control are among the possible ways forward. There is a need to investigate performance, flow and congestion control, intelligent control environment, security service creation and deployment and mobility of users, terminals and services. New approaches include the introduction of intelligence in nodes and terminal equipment in order to manage and control the protocols, and the introduction of intelligence mobility in the global network. The aim of such tools is to provide the quality of service and adapt the existing infrastructure to be able to handle the new functions and achieve the necessary co-operation between nodes. In this work, contributors from US, British and European research establishments, in addressing these problems, provide ways forward in this area of intelligence networks.
