Introduction to MultiAgent Systems

Download the Course material.

• Part One: Basic concepts, agent architectures and technologies

This first lesson presents the basic principle related to the concepts of agent and multiagent systems. Next it gives a broad overview of the different conceptual solutions and types of technology used to designing agent-oriented software.

• Part Two: collective behavior in multi agent systems

• Part Three: Approches in the modeling of multiagent systems

IT Laboratory

The objective of this Lab work is to implement a Contract Net Protocol (CNP). It will be implemented on the Gama platform. Here is a basic example that illustrates the facilities the Gama platform provides to implement FIPA compliant communication protocols.

The protocole

Step by step implementation of the CNP. The objective is to implement the way agents produce and process the different types of communicative acts that support the protocol.

Agents using the protocol

At this point, the agent that initiates the protocol (the initiator) does it only once. We want now to make the agents able to use the protocol on purpose, namely when they have something to do and cannot perform it by their own.

Many agents

Implement a solution where many agents can run the protocol concurrently.
