AGENT ORIENTED LEADERSHIP SELECTION:A REVIEW

A Multi-agent System (MAS) is comprised of multiple interacting intelligent agents. Agents in the MAS could all be of same type (homogeneous) or different (heterogeneous). MAS are used to solve problems which are either difficult for an individual agent to solve or when the problem is inherently comprised of multiple actors interacting together. However, the nature of MAS design coordination among agents in MAS is always a core issue. Coordination and cooperation allows the agents to manage their inter dependencies and the type and nature of interactions. Coordination and cooperation differ in degree of inter-agent knowledge and beliefs. Agent coordination is usually achieved in the backdrop of a communication system between agents. This paper is a based on the review of various work on selection of multi-agent for various task domain.
