Autonomous agents and multi-agent systems : explorations in learning, self-organization, and adaptive computation /

An autonomous agent is a computational system that acquires sensory data from its environment and decides by itself how to relate the external stimulus to its behaviours in order to attain certain goals. Responding to different stimuli received from its task environment, the agent may select and exh...
