There is little yet in the literature approaching a complete model of the kinetic and dynamic interaction of a nerve agent and its current (multi-agent) or potential countermeasures. There have been, however, a number of important steps in that direction, both on the level of model development and in the experimental generation of... 

In the COGents project [70[, OntoCAPE forms part of a multi-agent framework, which supports the selection and retrieval of suitable process modeling components from distributed model libraries. Within this framework,...

Colonies can be thought of as grammatical models of multi-agent systems motivated by Brooks subsmnption architectures [6]. They describe language classes in terms of behaviour of collections of very simple, purely reactive, situated agents with emergent behaviom. 

The need for learning techniques and methods in the area of multi-agent systems in order to equip multi-agent sj tems with learning abilities to allow agents to automatically improve their behaviour. 

The area of multi-agent learning shows how developments in the fields of machine learning and agent technologies have become complementary. In this intersection, researchers from both fields have opportunities to profit from solutions proposed by each other. In fact we can distinguish two directions in this... 

Learning in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), this is, using machine learning techniques in agent technology. 

In the area of multi-agent learning -the application of machine learning to problems involving multiple agents [36]-, two principal forms of learning can be distinguished [43,49] ... 

There are three main methods/approaches to learning in multi-agent systems which are distinguished by taking into account the kind of feedback provided to the learner [36,49] ...
