Programmers, researchers, and graduate students will find this text unique in its presentation of the concepts and principles of this fast-growing field. While previous research has focused on the development of formal and informal approaches to analyse and specify Multi-Agent Systems, this book focuses on the development of programming languages and tools which not only support MAS programming, but also implement key concepts of MAS in unified frameworks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I describes four approaches that are based on computational logic or process algebra--Jason, 3APL, IMPACT, and CLAIM\/SyMPA. These programming languages have formal semantics and use heavy machinery based on formal methods, but also provide working platforms for the development of multi-agent systems. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart II presents agent languages and platforms that extend or are based on Java--JADE, Jadex, and JACK\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c\/sup\u003e. Although these have no formal semantics, the languages are well documented and the platforms provide a variety of tools that have been extensively used in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart III provides two significant industry specific applications--The DEFACTO System for coordinating human-agent teams for the future of disaster response, and the ARTIMIS rational dialogue agent technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book also features seven appendices, summarising each of the agent programming languages, hence facilitating comparison of the approaches. In particular, Appendix A describes the criteria used for comparing the agent languages and platforms. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274160824471,"sku":"9781441937537","price":10900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441937537.webp?v=1769279070","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/multi-agent-programming-languages-platforms-and-applications-9781441937537","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
