Synopsis:

This course provides foundations of multi-agent systems and agent technologies. It provides a formal model of an agent, the concept of reactive, deliberative and deductive agent, BDI architecture,basics of inter agent communication and coordination. Introduction to distributed decision making and game theory will be also provided.
