New computing paradigms have been proposed and new software architectures are being examined. The study of multi-agent s- tems (MAS) is one important movement energized by a growing awareness that application development may need to follow radically new paths. Fundamentally, MAS denotes a new software speci?cation and design paradigm. Moreover, when viewed in the context of large-scale deployment, it emerges as the embodiment of the quintessential concerns facing the software engineering community today. As computing and communication permeates the essential aspects of the societal infrastructure, software must become more nimble, slimmer, more natural, and more discrete. Software must integrate itself in an organic way into the activities it serves and the resources it exploits. 410 0$aLecture notes in computer science ;$v3914. 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aIntelligent agents (Computer software) 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aIntelligent agents (Computer software) 676 $a005.1 701 $aGarcia$b Alessandro$f1976-$01757213 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484098903321 996 $aSoftware engineering for multi-agent systems IV$94194984 997 $aUNINA
