What is Multi-Agent Systems
1.
A system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents.
Learn more in: Privacy and Data Protection towards Elderly Healthcare
2.
Systems
composed of multiple interacting agents, where each agent is a coarse-grained computational system in its own right. The hypothesis of
multi-agent systems
is creating a system that interconnects separately developed agents, thus enabling the ensemble to function beyond the capabilities of any singular agent in the set-up.
Learn more in: Support of Online Learning through Intelligent Programs
3.
A system composed of several agents, collectively capable of solve complex problems in a distributed fashion without the need for each agent to know about the whole problem being solved.
Learn more in: Hybrid Meta-Heuristics Based System for Dynamic Scheduling
4.
A
multi-agent
system is comprised of several agents working together towards a goal or completion of a task. It is a loosely coupled network of problem-solving entities that work together to find answers to problems that are beyond the capacity of any individual problem-solving entity.

5.
A loosely coupled network of software agents that collaborate with each other to solve problems that are beyond individual capacities or domain knowledge.
Learn more in: Intelligent Agent Technology in Supply Chains
6.
Are
systems
composed of multiple autonomous agents, such as software programs or robots, that interact with each other. Their interactions can be either cooperative, that is, they can share a common goal, or selfish, that is, they can pursue their own interests.
Multi-agent systems
can be used to solve complex problems in areas such as disaster response, online trading and social structure modeling.

7.
A computerized system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents within an environment.
Learn more in: Discrete Event Models of Medical Emergencies
8.
These
systems
consist of a number of intelligent agents that interact and cooperate with each other in an environment. These agents are autonomous to a certain degree and work together to solve a particular problem.

9.
Multi-agent systems
(MAS) is a new methodology to address the issues in organizing large-scale software
systems
. This methodology provides a conceptual model that helps maintaining constraints, a task conventional software engineering is unable to achieve. An agent is a software entity that actively seeks ways to complete its tasks. Intelligent agents have the ability to gain knowledge through their problem-solving processes.
Multi-agent systems
are often used to model loosely coupled distributed
systems
with decentralized control and data allocation. In these
systems
, communicating agents represent distributed expertise for problem solving. The agents have the ability to process local data efficiently and to communicate with other agents when necessary if the tasks that they are facing are beyond their domain knowledge.

10.
A system that consists of a number of agents which interact with one another usually through cooperation, competition, coordination or negotiation (Wooldridge, 2002 AU107: The in-text citation "Wooldridge, 2002" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ).

11.
A system composed by agents that are able to interact among themselves and within an environment.
