چکیده
The objective of this paper is to examine the crucial area of coordination in multi-agent systems. It does not attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the coordination literature ; rather, it highlights the necessity for coordination in agent systems and overviews briefly various coordination techniques. It critiques these techniques and presents some conclusions and challenges which we draw from this literature.

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
متن کاملArchitectural Design Patterns for Multiagent Coordination
This paper presents our rst step towards agent-oriented software engineering, focusing on the area of coordinated multi-agent systems. In multi-agent systems, the interactions between the agents are crucial in determining the eeectiveness of the system. Hence the adoption of an appropriate coordination mechanism is pivotal in the design of multi-agent system architectures. This paper does not f...
متن کاملAnalysis and Design of Multiagent Systems Using Hybrid Coordination Media
Over the last few years, two advances in agent-oriented software engineering have had a significant impact. The first is the identification of interaction and coordination as the central focus of multiagent systems design and the second is the realization that the multiagent organization is distinct from the individual agents that populate the system. Also, the evolution of new, more powerful h...
متن کاملSocially-aware lightweight coordination infrastructures
Coordination infrastructures have played a central role in the engineering of multi-agent systems (MAS). Although MAS research has produced a number of notable coordination infrastructures of varying features, these have been mainly conceived to host software agents and to facilitate multi-agent programming. Thus, human agents have been mostly kept out of the picture, hence hindering the use of...
