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. 

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

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] ... 

In the intersection between multi-agent systems and machine learning we find the so-called agent-based machine learning techniques where agent technology...

This Springer journal focuses on research on the applications of computerbased methods of computational collective intelligence (CCI) and their applications in a wide range of fields such as the Semantic Web, social networks, and multi-agent systems. It aims to provide a forum for the presentation of scientific research and technological achievements accomplished by the international community.

In a multi-agent system (MAS), the decisions and actions of various agents do necessarily interact. However, just due to interaction, a multi-agent system can occasionally solve problems that are beyond the limits of the competence of the individual agents and/or may exhibit emergent behavior that cannot be derived from the internal mechanisms of the components. In a community...

The various organization patterns of multi-agent systems, such as teams, coalitions, markets, as well as hierarchic and heterarchic (including holonic) architectures, provide different ways to achieve system-wide design objectives and/or to facilitate the emergence of desired properties in multi-agent systems. 

Various agent technologies were found attractive in all main domains of manufacturing because they offer help in realizing important properties as autonomy, responsiveness, modularity, and openness (Monostori et al. 2006). The further evolution of multi-agent systems and manufacturing will probably proceed hand in hand the former can receive real challenges from the latter, which, in turn, will have...
