  • More about Distributed Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach


Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) is an approach to solving complex learning, planning, and decision-making problems. It examines representing and using organizational knowledge in DAI systems, dynamics of computational ecosystems, and communication-free interactions among rational agents. Topics included plan verification, generation, and execution, negotiation operators, representation, network management problem, and conflict-resolution paradigms. The book will attract researchers and practitioners working in management and computer science and industry persons in need of a beginner to advanced understanding of the basic and advanced concepts.

Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) emerged as a solution to complex learning, planning, and decision-making challenges. While decision-making can employ meta-heuristic approaches akin to operation research, it remains distinct from management research. This text delves into representing and utilizing organizational knowledge in DAI systems, the dynamics of computational ecosystems, and communication-free interactions among rational agents. It explores conflict-resolution strategies for nonhierarchical distributed agents, constraint-directed negotiation of resource allocations, and plans for multiple agents. The manuscript discusses plan verification, generation, and execution, negotiation operators, representation, network management problems, and conflict-resolution paradigms. It further elaborates on negotiating task decomposition and allocation using partial global planning and mechanisms for assessing nonlocal impact of local decisions in distributed planning. This book will appeal to researchers and practitioners in management and computer science, as well as industry professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of fundamental and advanced concepts in the field.
