Course objectives
The course deals with the theory of agents and multi-agent systems. The goal of the subject is to introduce methods of agents' communication and learning by experience. Particular kinds of agents are considered, from simple reactive agents, up to deliberative, social, hybrid agents, and finally multi-agent systems in general. The students should also be able to create a real multi-agent system.
Syllabus
  • 1. Turing test history. Human and machine intelligence. 2. Agents‘ architecture. 3. Reactive agents, reactivity, emergence. 4. Deliberation, theory of BDI, IRMA (intelligent resource-bounded machine architecture), PRS (procedural reasoning system). 5. Agents' interactions, distributed artificial intelligence 6. Experiments: emergent behaviour of agents 7. Reactive communication with environment, standards of agents’ behavior. 8. Agents' cooperation, table method, negotiation, messaging. 9. Decentralized problem solving 10. Agents' Ontologies and knowledge bases 11. Communication in MAS, communication languages. 12. Indirect communication
