Goals
Understand the multi-agent paradigm, its history, the functioning of a MAS, the underlying research challenges, and the various application fields, with a focus on agent-based simulation.
Get an overview of methodologies for developing MAS, existing tools for implementing them, current applications and future prospects.
Content Introduction and history of MAS. Reactive agents, emergence. Cognitive agents, BDI logics. Interactions, languages, conversational agents. Organisation in MAS, synchronisation, planning, task allocation. Agent-based simulation. Tools and languages for implementing MAS and agent-based simulation (practical sessions with the GAMA platform). Applications of MAS, future prospects.
PrerequisitesNone
