Architecture-Based Design of Multi-Agent Systems (Hardback - 1 Feb 2010)

Architecture-Based Design of Multi-Agent Systems
Multi-agent systems are claimed to be especially suited to the development of software systems that are decentralized, can deal flexibly with dynamic conditions, and are open to system components that come and go. This is why they are used in domains such as manufacturing control, automated vehicles, and e-commerce markets. Danny Weyns' book is organized according to the postulate that "developing multi-agent...
