Abstract Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are extensively studied and defined differently in literature. A MAS can be described as an environment with multiple agents that interact with each other or the environment, following predetermined rules to achieve individual or shared goals. This work represents a survey focused on collaborative and non-collaborative behaviors within MAS. The survey presents the key characteristics, benefits and drawbacks of each behavior type and provides a structured review of the literature, emphasizing on the applications of these behaviors in different domains. Understanding these behaviors in MAS can have benefits in both academic research and day-to-day life. This understanding may help researchers and practitioners to design and implement MAS and to provide guidance for different behaviors that may be suitable based on specific scenarios.
