Multi-Agent Programming (eBook, PDF)

Languages, Platforms and Applications

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Multi-Agent Programming is an essential reference for anyone interested in the most up-to-date developments in MAS programming. While previous research has focused on the development of formal and informal approaches to analyze and specify Multi-Agent Systems, this book focuses on the development of programming languages and tools which not only support MAS programming, but also implement key concepts of MAS in a unified framework.

Part I describes approaches that rely on computational logic or process algebra – Jason, 3APL, IMPACT, and CLAIM/SyMPA. Part II presents languages and platforms that extend or are based on Java – JADE, Jadex and JACK^TM. Part III provides two significant industry specific applications – The DEFACTO System for coordinating human-agent teams for disaster response, and the ARTIMIS rational dialogue agent technology. Also featured are seven appendices for quick reference and comparison.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is the second book in a series ... that aims to provide an overview of the state of the art in multi-agent systems programming ... . The way the book is organized makes it possible for readers who are seeking advice for selecting an agent development framework to obtain an overview of several possible choices ... for their needs. Also, readers who are interested in gaining insight into one particular language will find many interesting details in the respective chapter." (Angelica de Antonio, ACM Computing Reviews, November, 2009)
