Agent and multiagent computing for complex environments

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Autonomous agents are computer systems that are capable of independent action in open, unpredictable environments. Nowadays, concurrent and distributed systems are very common, it becomes obvious in this case that a single autonomous agent is insufficient. Many applications, if not most of them, require multiple autonomous agents, called also Multiagent Systems. In such computing systems, knowledge, action and control are distributed among the agents, which may cooperate, compete or coexist depending on the context.
