Description
Automated intelligent agents inhabiting a shared environment must coordinate their activities. Cooperation—not merely coordination—may improve the performance of the individual agents or the overall behavior of the system they form. Research in Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) addresses the problem of designing automated intelligent systems which interact effectively. DAI is not the only field to take on the challenge of understanding cooperation and coordination. There are a variety of other multi-entity environments in which the entities coordinate their activity and cooperate. Among them are groups of people, animals, particles, and computers. We argue that in order to address the challenge of building coordinated and collaborated intelligent agents, it is beneficial to combine AI techniques with methods and techniques from a range of multi-entity fields, such as game theory, operations research, physics …
