“…If the supermarket is only virtual, no physical world comes into play. However, if it runs in a real shopping mall with an ad hoc intelligent agent based peer-to-peer network, as proposed in Helin et al (2005), the physical world would be composed of hosts and users' PDAs.…”

There is a growing awareness in the multiagent systems research community that the environment plays a prominent role in multiagent systems. Originating from research on behavior-based agent systems and situated multiagent systems, the importance of the environment is now gradually being accepted in the multiagent system community in general. In this paper, we put forward the environment as a first-order abstraction in multiagent systems. This position is motivated by the fact that several aspects of multiagent systems that conceptually do not belong to agents themselves should not be assigned to, or hosted inside the agents. Examples are infrastructure for communication, the topology of a spatial domain or support for the action model. These and other aspects should be considered explicitly. The environment is the natural candidate to encapsulate these aspects. We elaborate on environment engineering, and we illustrate how the environment plays a central role in a real-world multiagent system application.

“…The literature proposes other multi-agent systems for health care service management (e.g., [9]) and a lot of systems for service coordination [10], [11]. The distinguishing feature of MeSSyCo is the use of distributed abductive reasoning.…”

In this paper we will show how an abductive multiagent approach could be successfully exploited in a emergency scenario. To this purpose we will present MeSSyCo, a multi-agent system that integrates and coordinates heterogeneous medical and non medical services. MeSSyCo agents can perform different tasks such as diagnosis, service coordination and intelligent resource allocation. The MeSSyCo coordination infrastructure based on abductive reasoning allows several distinct specialized service providers to be aggregated and properly coordinated in order to perform more complex medical and non medical tasks.

“…The combination of the distributed capabilities of P2P networks with the intelligence of autonomous agents appears to be very promising since it will allow the transparent access to large-scale distributed resources while maintaining high-availability, fault tolerance and low maintenance application deployment through self-organization [4]. We envision the use of both these technologies to create an intelligent peer-to-peer infrastructure [5] that will allow for a dynamic network of intelligent agents, while managing several resources, to cooperate in order to efficiently discover, compose and execute computational resources.…”

The distributed nature of peer-to-peer networks offers a solid ground for the deployment of environments where multiple agents, managing several resources, can cooperate in pursuing common and individual goals while achieving good overall performance. In this article we present a survey of recent work on the integration of multi-agent systems and peer-to-peer computing for resource coordination (including discovery, composition and execution of resources) and we propose an approach for optimizing resource coordination through the use of efficient peer-to-peer search mechanisms relying upon a powerful semantic overlay network. We also present an approach for the dynamic development of the required semantic overlay network from a network of randomly-connected peers.
