Although computational approaches for multi-agent systems have mainly emerged in the past few decades, scholars have been prolific with regard to the variety of methods proposed to solve this paradigm. Different communities have emerged with multi-agent systems as their main research topic. Multi-agent systems allow the development of distributed and intelligent applications in complex and dynamic environments. Systems of this kind play a crucial role in life, evidenced by the broad range of applied areas involved in their use, including manufacturing, management sciences, e-commerce, and biotechnology. There are many reasons for the interest of researchers in this new discipline. Firstly, computational systems have gradually shifted towards a distributed paradigm where heterogeneous entities with different goals can enter and leave the system dynamically and interact with each other. Secondly, new computational systems should be able to negotiate with one another, typically on the behalf of humans, in order to come to mutually acceptable agreements. As a consequence, autonomy, interaction, mobility, and openness are key concepts studied in the area. The purpose of this book is to document some of the advances made in this paradigm and attempt to show the current state of this technology by analyzing different aspects in addition its possible application in various domains. This review of the current state-of-the-art does not intend to make an exhaustive exploration of all the current existing works but, rather, to try to give an overview of the research in agent technology, showing the high level of activity of this area. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aactor-network theory 610 $aagent and multi-agent applications 610 $aagent based modeling and simulation 610 $aagent-based collective intelligence 610 $aagent-based modeling 610 $aagent-based simulation 610 $abiologically inspired approaches and methods 610 $aclassification 610 $acollective foraging 610 $acollective-intelligence 610 $acompetences 610 $aconsensus problem 610 $adecision support 610 $adecision support system 610 $adiscrete event simulator 610 $aeducation 610 $aeducational games 610 $aequilibrium selection 610 $afeature-extension 610 $aformation control 610 $agame design 610 $agenetic-based fuzzy rule learning 610 $ageoparticipation 610 $agreen coffee supply chain 610 $aHollywood 610 $aintelligent autonomous control 610 $ainteroperability 610 $amethodologies for agent-based systems 610 $amodeling and simulation 610 $amulti-agent 610 $amulti-agent complex systems 610 $amulti-agent planning and scheduling 610 $amulti-agent system 610 $amulti-agent systems 610 $amulti-robot 610 $amulti-robot simulation 610 $amultiagent systems 610 $anoise 610 $aorganizational models 610 $aparameter fine-tuning 610 $aphotovoltaic energy 610 $aphysics-based simulation 610 $apotential game 610 $apower law distribution 610 $aprediction 610 $apredictive model 610 $aproduction scheduling 610 $ascale-free properties 610 $aself-reported behaviour 610 $asimulation model 610 $asituated psychological agents 610 $asmart city development 610 $asocial interactions 610 $aspatiotemporal modeling 610 $aswarm 610 $atime delay 610 $atraining system 610 $aunmanned surface vehicles 610 $awisdom-of-crowds 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aOmicini$b Andrea$4edt$01310442 702 $aMariani$b Stefano$4edt 702 $aOmicini$b Andrea$4oth 702 $aMariani$b Stefano$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557677303321 996 $aMulti-Agent Systems 2019$93029823 997 $aUNINA
