Project Description :
“An agent is a computer system that is situated in some environment, and that is capable of autonomous action in this environment in order to meet its design objectives.” [1] Multi Agent System (MAS) is built out of many agents cooperating (or competiting) with each other to accomplish some goals. Various attempts have been made to build MAS framework by different groups (e.g. JADE, JAUS, Machinetta, and RETSINA) and for various reasons. In this project, the student will survey the various MAS development framework – find out their objectives, features implemented and evaluates on the ease of use. The student can evaluate these frameworks using the documentation available, and implementing small toy agents with the architecture for testing.

Pre-requisite :
Programming knowledge in C, C++ and JAVA would be useful
