The Multiagent and Cloud Computing Systems Lab

The Multiagent and Cloud Computing Systems Laboratory conducts research in the crossroad between multiagent systems and Cloud computing. An agent is a computer system that can act flexibly in dynamic and uncertain environments. A multiagent system is a system with multiple problem solving entities, and it consists of a number of agents which interact with one another. To successfully interact, agents require the ability to cooperate, coordinate, and negotiate with each other. Research in multiagent systems is concerned with the development of methods and algorithms for multiple interacting agents. A Cloud computing system consists of a collection of inter-connected and virtualized computers dynamically provisioned as one or more unified computing resource(s) through negotiation of service-level agreements (SLAs) between providers and consumers. Agent-based Cloud computing is concerned with the design and development of software agents for bolstering discovery, negotiation and composition of Cloud services.
