About this book

Distributed Intelligent Systems: A Coordination Perspective comprehensively answers commonly asked questions about coordination in agent-oriented distributed systems. Characterizing the state-of-the-art research in the field of coordination with regard to the development of distributed agent-oriented systems is a particularly complex endeavour; while existing books deal with specific aspects of coordination, the major contribution of this book lies in the attempt to provide an in-depth review covering a wide range of issues regarding multi-agent coordination in Distributed Artificial Intelligence.

Key features:

Unveils the lack of coherence and order that characterizes the area of research pertaining to coordination of distributed intelligent systems

Examines coordination models, frameworks, strategies and techniques to enable the development of distributed intelligent agent-oriented systems

Provides specific recommendations to realize more widespread deployment of agent-based systems
