The answer is simple, add it only if it will make your program easier. If all you need to do is return the current weather conditions, then you don't need agents, but if you need to implement a negotiation algorithm then you are implementing a multiagent algorithm.<br /><br />2-The word "agent" means different things to different people.<br /><br />3-Multiagent systems are just distributed algorithms implemented by autonomous programs. So, you are asking, what can and cannot be done by computers? Well, we know what computers can do, on the other hand, what computers cannot do is a tricky question.jmvidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605820980157120553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28222549190387355.post-80693119529652806822009-11-07T08:05:51.772-05:002009-11-07T08:05:51.772-05:00Hello,

I have also gone though your pdf ebook on Multi agent systems.<br /><br />I would like to have your opinion on the following:<br />1. Why would i use agents, and not code directly? (i suppose because of complexity, or the complex algorithms? im interested in a complete answer that will satisfy the external examiner)<br />2. what are the services required in agents? (is it the Negotiations, Auctions, etc you mentioned in the ebook?)<br />3. What are the limits of multi-agents? (what can be done and what cannot be done?)<br /><br />I would be grateful if you could guide me through this.<br /><br />Thanks in advance,<br />YudishYudzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986518894012468179noreply@blogger.com
