1. Preamble
The course on Multi-Agent Coordination is focused the teaching of multi-agent coordination models. Those models are used to coordinate decentralized and open complex systems such as cyber-physical and social systems.
Taking a multi-agent oriented perspective on coordination of complex systems, this course presents models pertaining to agent-, interaction-, environment- and organization-centred coordination. Besides learning foundations and state of the art works done on this topic in the Multi-Agent domain, you will learn how to program some of these models for developing Decentralized and Open AI systems.
We use the JaCaMo platform for the practical exercises that are presented in this course.
