Multi-Agent Programming:

Languages, Tools and Applications

Multi-Agent Systems are a promising technology to develop the next generation open distributed complex software systems. The main focus of the research community has been on the development of concepts (concerning both mental and social attitudes), architectures, techniques, and general approaches to the analysis and specification of multi-agent systems. This contribution has been fragmented, without any clear way of “putting it all together”, rendering it inaccessible to students and young researchers, non-experts, and practitioners. Successful multi-agent systems development is guaranteed only if we can bridge the gap from analysis and design to effective implementation. Multi-Agent Programming: Languages, Tools and Applications presents a number of mature and influential multi-agent programming languages, platforms, development tools and methodologies, and realistic applications, summarizing the state of the art in an accessible manner for professionals and computer science students at all levels.

The idea to use common sense notions to build programs can be traced back to
the beginnings of Artificial Intelligence. Shoham, who was one of the first to
propose a new programming paradigm that he called agent-oriented
programming, cites McCarthy about the usefulness of ascribing such notions to
machines [29, 39]. One of the first papers on Artificial Intelligence, also written by
McCarthy, is called Programs with Common Sense [28]. It has been realized that
in order to have ...
