Editing Software agent (section)

===Networking and communicating agents===
Some other examples of current [[intelligent agent]]s include some [[spam (e-mail)|spam]] filters, game [[computer game bot|bots]], and server monitoring tools. [[Search engine indexing]] bots also qualify as intelligent agents.
* [[User agent]] - for browsing the World Wide Web
* [[Mail transfer agent]] - For serving E-mail, such as ''Microsoft Outlook''. Why? It communicates with the POP3 mail server, without users having to understand [[Post Office Protocol|POP3]] command protocols. It even has rule sets that filter mail for the user, thus sparing them the trouble of having to do it themselves.
* [[Simple Network Management Protocol|SNMP]] agent
* In Unix-style networking servers, ''[[Apache HTTP Server|httpd]]'' is an HTTP daemon that implements the [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol]] at the root of the [[World Wide Web]]
* [[Management agent]]s used to manage telecom devices
* [[Crowd simulation]] for safety planning or [[3D computer graphics]],
* Wireless ''beaconing agent'' is a simple process hosted single tasking entity for implementing [[wireless lock]] or electronic leash in conjunction with more complex software agents hosted e.g. on wireless receivers.
* Use of autonomous agents (deliberately equipped with noise) to optimize coordination in groups online.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Shirado|first1=Hirokazu|last2=Christakis|first2=Nicholas A|title=Locally noisy autonomous agents improve global human coordination in network experiments|journal=Nature|volume=545|issue=7654|pages=370–374|doi=10.1038/nature22332|pmid=28516927|pmc=5912653|year=2017|bibcode=2017Natur.545..370S}}</ref>
