Huaglory Tianfield, Tian Jiang, Xin Yao · 2003
This paper presents a literature review on the architectures of complex multi-agent systems. Firstly, the concept of general architectures and three orientations of systems architectures, i.e., information flow oriented, control oriented and role oriented ones, are presented. Secondly, a literature review is presented upon the architectures of complex multi-agent systems in terms of control oriented and role oriented architectures. Finally, a novel autonomic architecture is put forward for complex multi-agent systems.
