Distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also known as Multi-Agent System (MAS). MAS is a branch of computer science, where two or more intelligent systems or agents are interconnected to achieve the design objectives.
Agents can operate robustly in rapidly changing environment even with incomplete and uncertain information.
Difference between AI Systems and MAS
What is an Agent?
An agent is a software entity that perceives its environment through sensors and acts or reacts through effector to achieve the designed goal. Agents are computer programs that employ AI techniques to provide active assistance to a user.
What is the need of MAS?
The question is what is the need of distributed AI or MAS. There are few points given below which explains the need of MAS.
1. Large and complex problems like scheduling, manufacturing and control involve activities that need to share knowledge, skills and plans.
2. A global solution arises from the cooperation between these agents.
a) Each of them being in charge of a specific subtask.
b) But on one having sufficient resources to produce the global solution.
3. The data and information to be processed arise at geographically different locations at different times and require different perceptual, effectual and cognitive capabilities.
4. The intelligent agents are often geographically, physically and logically distributed.
