Architecture-Based Design of Multi-Agent Systems

The book describes an architecture-based approach for software engineering of multi-agent systems and its application to a field-tested multi-agent system for an automated transportation system. The approach integrates multi-agent system concepts with state of the art principles and methods of software architecture and middleware. You can have a look at the demonstration movie (mpg 35MB) of the application.
