  abstract =	 {Scientific research and practice in multiagent
                  systems focuses on constructing computational
                  frameworks, principles, and models for how both
                  small and large societies of intelligent,
                  semiautonomous agents can interact effectively to
                  achieve their goals. This article provides a
                  personal view of the key application areas for
                  cooperative multiagent systems, the major
                  intellectual problems in building such systems, the
                  underlying principles governing their design, and
                  the major directions and challenges for future
                  developments in this field.},
