A Parametric Model for Large Scale Agent Systems

Abstract

The goal of this project was to develop new techniques for the construction, description, and analysis of multi-agent systems. The characteristics of systems being addressed include a high degree of non-determinism (resulting form a large number of interactions) and unpredictability of the environment in which the agents operate. Specifically, we implemented tools for building robust and dependable large-scale multi-agent systems and studied methods for predicting and analyzing the behaviors of such systems. The project developed coordination methods for systems consisting of large numbers of agents.
