Research advances of distributed artificial intelligence and multi-agent system

Lei Xu

With the rapid development of computer technology and wide application of artificial intelligence, engineering practice puts forward a higher requirement to the computer’s ability of dealing with and solving complex problems. At first, this paper mainly introduces the relative theories of distributed artificial intelligence, the concept of multiagent and the structure of multi-agent system. Then, it analyzes the problems which a single artificial intelligence meets in practice and discusses the basic principle of distributed artificial intelligence to solve the problem. Also, it illustrates the application of multi-agent in practice and summarizes the current development situation, main research direction and unsolved problems of multi-agent system. Finally, combining these aspects above, it discusses the future development trend of distributed artificial intelligence.
