Multiagent Systems

The Dubai Agent and Multi-Agent Systems School will be held 27-30 January 2008.

Agent-based Systems are computer systems comprised on several autonomous, intelligent, communicating systems (or agents). This area is often referred to as Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) or Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Researchers in MAS build on techniques and inspirations from diverse areas such as game theory, economics, logic, and complex systems, in order to design efficient multi-agent systems. Practical applications of multi-agent systems range from automated trading in electronic markets, to robotic soccer, to distributed sensor networks, to grid computing, to intelligent workflow scheduling. This school will be organized by the Autonomous and Adaptive Systems research group at the British University in Dubai, BUiD.
