  abstract =	 {This is the first comprehensive introduction to
                  multiagent systems and contemporary distributed
                  artificial intelligence that is suitable as a
                  textbook. The book provides detailed coverage of
                  basic topics as well as several closely related
                  ones. Unlike traditional textbooks, the book brings
                  together many leading experts, guaranteeing a broad
                  and diverse base of knowledge and expertise. It
                  emphasizes aspects of both theory and application,
                  and provides many illustrations and examples. Also
                  included are thought-provoking exercises of varying
                  degrees of difficulty and a twenty-page glossary of
                  terms found in the study of agents, multiagent
                  systems, and distributed artificial
                  intelligence. The book can be used for teaching as
                  well as self-study, and is designed to meet the
                  needs of both researchers and practitioners. In view
                  of the interdisciplinary nature of the field, it
                  will be a useful reference not only for computer
                  scientists and engineers, but for social scientists
                  and management and organization scientists as well.},
