DESCRIPTION:
a confusing read Doctor M Tarver Ferber's book is a confusing read for anybody approaching the subject for the first time. He attempts to categorise multiagent systems, but many of his key terms are vague. Theaccumulation of distinctions without overall purpose becomesirritating. Despite all the classification, there is no clear overall taxonomy and no hard code. Organisation is poor. A clear ta. A Horrible Translation Jeff Sullivan This book was originally written in French, and whoever translated it was not paying attention when they did so. Horrible grammar and word usage mistakes detract from what would already be only a fair book. The stated purpose of the book is to unify various theories and approaches to multi-agent systems, and to this end uses a large array of redundant terminology. "OK book" according to Vijay. I agree with Dan. I would recommend Multiagent systems by Weiss. The book presents a coherent text on MAS, and the authors are reknowned experts in their fields. Also, check out Rules of Encounter by Rochenschein and Zlotkin
In Multi-Agent Systems, he draws on over a decade of experience as a first-rate researcher and teacher in order to set out a coherent, unified view of the field. Not only does it provide very broad and insightful perspectives on such core topics as agent interaction, coordination, communication, and self-organization; it also offers the reader a number of novel and pragmatic techniques for modeling and developing complex multitasking operational systems."(Dr.) Innes A. I know of no other book on agentsthat matches its coprehensive treatment and clear, enjoyable exposition."Van ParunakCentre for Electronic Commerce"Jacques Ferber can legitimately claim to be one of the founders of the discipline that is today known as multi-agent systems. The end result is a readable and comprehensive textbook, that will be enthusiasticall
The book introduces and defines the fundamental concepts that need to be understood, clearly describes the work that has been done, and invites readers to reflect upon the possibilities of the future.. In this book, Jacques Ferber has brought together all the recent developments in the field of multi-agent systems - an area that has seen increasing interest and major developments over the last few years. The author draws on work carried out in various disciplines, including information technology, sociology and cognitive psychology to provide a coherent and instructive picture of the current state-of-the-art
