An Introduction to MultiAgent Systems
Author: Michael Wooldridge
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470519460
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
The study of multi-agent systems (MAS) focuses on systems in which many intelligent agents interact with each other. These agents are considered to be autonomous entities such as software programs or robots. Their interactions can either be cooperative (for example as in an ant colony) or selfish (as in a free market economy). This book assumes only basic knowledge of algorithms and discrete maths, both of which are taught as standard in the first or second year of computer science degree programmes. A basic knowledge of artificial intelligence would useful to help understand some of the issues, but is not essential. The book’s main aims are: To introduce the student to the concept of agents and multi-agent systems, and the main applications for which they are appropriate To introduce the main issues surrounding the design of intelligent agents To introduce the main issues surrounding the design of a multi-agent society To introduce a number of typical applications for agent technology After reading the book the student should understand: The notion of an agent, how agents are distinct from other software paradigms (e.g. objects) and the characteristics of applications that lend themselves to agent-oriented software The key issues associated with constructing agents capable of intelligent autonomous action and the main approaches taken to developing such agents The key issues in designing societies of agents that can effectively cooperate in order to solve problems, including an understanding of the key types of multi-agent interactions possible in such systems The main application areas of agent-based systems

Autonomous Agents and Multi-agent Systems
Author: Jiming Liu
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9810242824
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
An autonomous agent is a computational system that acquires sensory data from its environment and decides by itself how to relate the external stimulus to its behaviors in order to attain certain goals. Responding to different stimuli received from its task environment, the agent may select and exhibit different behavioral patterns. The behavioral patterns may be carefully predefined or dynamically acquired by the agent based on some learning and adaptation mechanism(s). In order to achieve structural flexibility, reliability through redundancy, adaptability, and reconfigurability in real-world tasks, some researchers have started to address the issue of multiagent cooperation. Broadly speaking, the power of autonomous agents lies in their ability to deal with unpredictable, dynamically changing environments. Agent-based systems are becoming one of the most important computer technologies, holding out many promises for solving real-world problems. The aims of this book are to provide a guided tour to the pioneering work and the major technical issues in agent research, and to give an in-depth discussion on the computational mechanisms for behavioral engineering in autonomous agents. Through a systematic examination, the book attempts to provide the general design principles for building autonomous agents and the analytical tools for modeling the emerged behavioral properties of a multiagent system.

Data Mining and Multi-agent Integration
Author: Longbing Cao
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441905227
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
Data Mining and Multi agent Integration aims to re?ect state of the art research and development of agent mining interaction and integration (for short, agent min ing). The book was motivated by increasing interest and work in the agents data min ing, and vice versa. The interaction and integration comes about from the intrinsic challenges faced by agent technology and data mining respectively; for instance, multi agent systems face the problem of enhancing agent learning capability, and avoiding the uncertainty of self organization and intelligence emergence. Data min ing, if integrated into agent systems, can greatly enhance the learning skills of agents, and assist agents with predication of future states, thus initiating follow up action or intervention. The data mining community is now struggling with mining distributed, interactive and heterogeneous data sources. Agents can be used to man age such data sources for data access, monitoring, integration, and pattern merging from the infrastructure, gateway, message passing and pattern delivery perspectives. These two examples illustrate the potential of agent mining in handling challenges in respective communities. There is an excellent opportunity to create innovative, dual agent mining interac tion and integration technology, tools and systems which will deliver results in one new technology.

Multi-agent Systems
Author: Jorge Rocha
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 953513535X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Multi-agent system (MAS) is an expanding field in science and engineering. It merges classical fields like game theory with modern ones like machine learning and computer science. This book provides a succinct introduction to the subject, covering the theoretical fundamentals as well as the latter developments in a coherent and clear manner. The book is centred on practical applications rather than introductory topics. Although it occasionally makes reference to the concepts involved, it will do so primarily to clarify real-world applications. The inner chapters cover a wide spectrum of issues related to MAS uses, which include collision avoidance, automotive applications, evacuation simulation, emergence analyses, cooperative control, context awareness, data (image) mining, resilience enhancement and the management of a single-user multi-robot.

Multi-Agent Oriented Programming
Author: Olivier Boissier
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262360667
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The main concepts and techniques of multi-agent oriented programming, which supports the multi-agent systems paradigm at the programming level. A multi-agent system is an organized ensemble of autonomous, intelligent, goal-oriented entities called agents, communicating with each other and interacting within an environment. This book introduces the main concepts and techniques of multi-agent oriented programming, (MAOP) which supports the multi-agent systems paradigm at the programming level. MAOP provides a structured approach based on three integrated dimensions, which the book examines in detail: the agent dimension, used to design the individual (interacting) entities; the environment dimension, which allows the development of shared resources and connections to the real world; and the organization dimension, which structures the interactions among the autonomous agents and the shared environment.

Control of Multi-agent Systems
Author: Masaaki Nagahara
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783031529801
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This textbook teaches control theory for multi-agent systems. Readers will learn the basics of linear algebra and graph theory, which are then developed to describe and solve multi-agent control problems. The authors address important and fundamental problems including: • consensus control; • coverage control; • formation control; • distributed optimization; and • the viral spreading phenomenon. Students' understanding of the core theory for multi-agent control is enhanced through worked examples and programs in the popular Python language. End-of-chapter exercises are provided to help assess learning progress. Instructors who adopt the book for their courses can download a solutions manual and the figures in the book for lecture slides. Additionally, the Python programs are available for download and can be used for experiments by students in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses based on this text. The broad spectrum of applications relevant to this material includes the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, robot swarms, communications networks, smart grids, and truck platooning. Additionally, in the spheres of social science and public health, it applies to opinion dynamics and the spreading of viruses in social networks. Students interested in learning about such applications, or in pursuing further research in multi-agent systems from a theoretical perspective, will find much to gain from Control of Multi-agent Systems. Instructors wishing to teach the subject will also find it beneficial.
