Multiagent systems arise in human societies, biological ecosystems, the immune system and distributed computation. While very different in detail they all face the issue of producing complex global behavior through the local interactions of their constituent parts. This is particularly problematic since the individual parts have only a limited view of the system as a whole.

Agent-Based Control of Smart Matter |
|
|
Smart matter consists of sensors, actuators and computers embedded in physical materials. These devices can alter physical properties of the material under program control. When the number of devices is large, multiagent systems can provide robust distributed control through analogies with biological ecosystems, economic markets and the scientific community.
