Any idea of research?

[shoobarp]

I'm planning to undertake PhD programme in incoming semester. I'm
interested to do a research on agent. I need help from all of you to
give me some idea for my PhD research. Thank you very much if you are
willing to help me.

You may want to check out AGI:

Two areas that I find very critical to AGI are:
1. agent architecture
2. computational mechanism

The first question is to find a good architecture for general
intelligence. I have thought about the question but have not reached
a conclusive answer yet.

The seond question is to select an effective computational mechanism,
such as logic, neural network, grammar, graphical models, etc. One
needs to compare the merits of these approaches.

You might find it helpful to look at the slides/abstracts of the invited talks at AAMAS. For example:
