| A multi-agent system (MAS or "self-organized system") is a computerized system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents. Multi-agent systems can solve problems that are difficult or impossible for an individual agent or a monolithic system to solve. Intelligence may include methodic, functional, procedural approaches, algorithmic search or reinforcement learning. | | A multi-agent system (MAS or "self-organized system") is a computerized system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents.

− | '''多主体系统'''(英文:Self-organized System 或 Multi-agent System,简称'''MAS''')是一种由多个相互作用的智能体组成的计算系统。多主体系统可以解决一些单个主体或单一性系统难以解决的问题。其智能可能体现在条理性、功能性、程序性的行为方式,以及搜索算法和强化学习上。 | + | '''多主体系统'''(英文:Self-organized System 或 Multi-agent System,简称'''MAS''')是一种由多个相互作用的主体组成的计算系统。多主体系统可以解决一些单个主体或单一性系统难以解决的问题。其智能可能体现在条理性、功能性、程序性的行为方式,以及搜索算法和强化学习上。 |

| Despite considerable overlap, a multi-agent system is not always the same as an agent-based model (ABM). The goal of an ABM is to search for explanatory insight into the collective behavior of agents (which don't necessarily need to be "intelligent") obeying simple rules, typically in natural systems, rather than in solving specific practical or engineering problems. The terminology of ABM tends to be used more often in the science, and MAS in engineering and technology. Applications where multi-agent systems research may deliver an appropriate approach include online trading, disaster response and social structure modelling. | | Despite considerable overlap, a multi-agent system is not always the same as an agent-based model (ABM).

− | 尽管多主体系统和“基于主体的模型”(英文:Agent-based Model,简称'''ABM''')有着很多的重叠,但是他们并不总是相同的。“基于主体的模型”目标在于解释那些遵循简单规则、可能并不是很“智能”的主体表现出的集群行为,一般被用于自然系统的研究中,而不是在实践和工程解决具体的问题。因此“基于主体的模型”这个词更多地用在科学研究中,而“多主体系统”则更多地用于工程和技术。有关多主体系统的研究可能会对在线交易、灾害应急、社会结构建模等领域有着良好的应用价值。 | + | 尽管多主体系统和“基于主体的模型”(英文:Agent-based Model,简称'''ABM''')有着很多的重叠,但是他们并不总是相同的。“基于主体的模型”目标在于解释那些遵循简单规则、可能并不是很“智能”的主体表现出的集群行为,一般被用于天然系统的研究中,而不是在实践和工程解决具体的问题。因此“基于主体的模型”这个词更多地用在科学研究中,而“多主体系统”则更多地用于工程和技术。有关多主体系统的研究可能会对在线交易、灾害应急、社会结构建模等领域有着良好的应用价值。 |

| Multi-agent systems consist of agents and their environment. Typically multi-agent systems research refers to software agents. However, the agents in a multi-agent system could equally well be robots, humans or human teams. A multi-agent system may contain combined human-agent teams. | | Multi-agent systems consist of agents and their environment. Typically multi-agent systems research refers to software agents.
