COURSE DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION INFORMATION

Course Name Code Semester T+A+L (hour/week) Type (C / O) Local Credit ECTS
Multi-Agent Systems Project MTE 456 Spring 03+02+00 Compulsory 4 8
Academic Unit: Department of Mechatronics Engineering
Mode of Delivery: Face to face
Prerequisites: None
Language of Instruction: English
Level of Course Unit: Undergraduate
Course Coordinator: - -
Course Objectives: This course introduces the student to the basics of multi-agent systems and their applications. Design of multi agent systems and multi agent societies are covered. Familiarising students with the platforms, where multi-agent system are implemented and simulated, is aimed. 2) To introduce the main issues surrounding the design of intelligent agents; 3) To introduce the main issues surrounding the design of a multi-agent society. 4) To introduce a contemporary platform for implementing agents and multi-agent systems
Course Contents: Definitions and applications of agents and objects, expert systems and distributed systems; intelligent agents, reasoning agents, hybrid agents, frameworks for programming agents; cooperative and non-cooperative agent interactions, zero-sum interactions; the Prisoner's dilemma and Axelrod's experiments; cooperative distributed problem solving, group coherence and coordination; interaction protocols.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO):
  • 1- Understanding of the notion of an agent and the characteristics of multi-agent applications
  • 2- Ability to construct agents capable of intelligent autonomous action
  • 3- Understanding of the key issues in the design of multi-agent societies hat can cooperate to solve problems
  • 4- Ability to develop a multi-agent system using an agent development platform.
Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: The course is implemented in two term projects
