Cooperative multiagent systems: a personal view of the state of the art

Abstract

Scientific research and practice in multiagent systems focuses on constructing computational frameworks, principles, and models for how both small and large societies of intelligent, semiautonomous agents can interact effectively to achieve their goals. This article provides a personal view of the key application areas for cooperative multiagent systems, the major intellectual problems in building such systems, the underlying principles governing their design, and the major directions and challenges for future developments in this field.

Engineering context-aware systems and applications: A survey

“…Tanter et al [136] present an open framework for context-aware aspects to both restrict the scope of aspects according to the context and allow aspect definitions to access information associated to the context. Dantas et al [137] show a comparative study on aspect-oriented pro- General Applicability • Reduced communication bandwidth [143] • Increased reliability [143] • Not evaluated yet • • Users are in control; users know their tasks best [51] • Releases developers burden • Users have to think about rules or find them on a store…”

Produto funcional de grafos: um modelo para conexão de sistemas multiagentes

“…Segundo Lesser (1999), "sistemas multiagentes são sistemas computacionais em que dois ou mais agentes interagem ou trabalham em conjunto para executar um conjunto de tarefas ou para satisfazer um conjunto de objetivos".…”

Adaptive Virtual Environments: The Role of Intelligent Agents

“…Such objectives can be common to all agents or not (Lesser, 1999). Each agent can communicate or cooperate with other agents when necessary, with the objective to add the local results to reach the solution of the general problem (Jennings, 2000).…”
