The new edition of an introduction to multiagent systems that
captures the state of the art in both theory and practice, suitable
as textbook or reference. Multiagent systems are made up of
multiple interacting intelligent agents-computational entities to
some degree autonomous and able to cooperate, compete, communicate,
act flexibly, and exercise control over their behavior within the
frame of their objectives. They are the enabling technology for a
wide range of advanced applications relying on distributed and
parallel processing of data, information, and knowledge relevant in
domains ranging from industrial manufacturing to e-commerce to
health care. This book offers a state-of-the-art introduction to
multiagent systems, covering the field in both breadth and depth,
and treating both theory and practice. It is suitable for classroom
use or independent study. This second edition has been completely
revised, capturing the tremendous developments in multiagent
systems since the first edition appeared in 1999. Sixteen of the
book's seventeen chapters were written for this edition; all
chapters are by leaders in the field, with each author contributing
to the broad base of knowledge and experience on which the book
rests. The book covers basic concepts of computational agency from
the perspective of both individual agents and agent organizations;
communication among agents; coordination among agents; distributed
cognition; development and engineering of multiagent systems; and
background knowledge in logics and game theory. Each chapter
includes references, many illustrations and examples, and exercises
of varying degrees of difficulty. The chapters and the overall book
are designed to be self-contained and understandable without
additional material. Supplemental resources are available on the
book's Web site. Contributors Rafael Bordini, Felix Brandt, Amit
