Intelligent distributed systems: New trends

Abstract

In the distributed artificial intelligence field, a multi-agent system is defined as a coordinating intelligent behavior among a collection of autonomous intelligent agents, providing a method of coordinating their knowledge, goals, skills, and plans to take action or to solve problems. These concepts can be used to control and to manage a distributed system. The author describes the distributed approach of artificial intelligence and how to apply this new approach to the management and the control of a distributed system.<>
