Introduction to Multi Agent Systems: Intelligent Agents, design of intelligent agents, reasoning agents (eg. AgentO), agents as reactive systems (eg. subsumption architecture), hybrid agents (eg. PRS), layered agents (eg. InteRRaP) a contemporary (Java-based) framework for programming agents (eg JADE Java Agent Development Environment).

Multi-Agent Systems: Classifying multi-agent interactions, cooperative versus non-competitive, zero-sum and other interactions, cooperation – the Prisoner’s dilemma and Axelrod’s experiments.

Interactions between self-interested agents: auctions & voting systems: negotiation.

Interactions between benevolent agents: cooperative distributed problem solving (CDPS), partial global planning; coherence and coordination;

Interaction languages and protocols: speech acts, KQML/KIF, the FIPA framework.

Case study, Coding and simulation works.
