Description: Multi-Agent Systems, presents a rigorous and integrated perspective on the theory, design, and deployment of intelligent agent-based systems in complex and distributed environments. The book examines core concepts of multi-agent systems, including autonomy, cooperation, coordination, negotiation, and decentralized decision-making, while highlighting recent advances in agent architectures, learning-enabled agents, and agent-based control frameworks. Emphasis is placed on the application of artificial intelligence, deep reinforcement learning, distributed optimization, and IoT-integrated agent systems to address real-world challenges in robotics, smart energy management, microgrid protection, and resilient urban infrastructure. By focusing on scalability, robustness, fault tolerance, and adaptability, the book demonstrates the technical advantages of multi-agent approaches over centralized solutions in dynamic, uncertain, and large-scale systems. This volume serves as a technical reference for researchers, postgraduate students, and professionals seeking a systematic understanding of state-of-the-art methodologies, implementation considerations, and emerging research directions in intelligent distributed systems. Through its balanced coverage of foundational principles and advanced technological developments, the book supports interdisciplinary research and provides a strong knowledge base for the development of next-generation autonomous and agent-oriented systems.
