Overview
- Gives an overview of the field and contains descriptions of concrete applications
- Describes how to identify and address the relevant technical problems
- Explains how to engineer, integrate and test multi-agent systems for real world applications
- Detailed descriptions of the development of two large-scale multi-agent systems: Agent.Hospital and Agent.Enterprise
- Demonstrates clearly that multi-agent technology has a great potential for innovative information systems, if a high degree of flexibility of the overall systems is required, e.g. because human actions and technical systems exhibit a great degree of local autonomy, or if the work environment is highly dynamic
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: International Handbooks on Information Systems (INFOSYS)
