email filtering (agents)

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

One familiar application for agents is email filtering. Rules may be authored by hand or created automatically or on the suggestion of an intelligent agent. The rules typically have some sort of triggering conditon such as "From: marketing@example.com AND Subject: *campaign*" and then some sort of action to perform, such as moving the message directly into a mailbox.
