A Perspective on Multi-Agent Systems

People do not live in isolation from others; they live in societies. This paper is about Multi-Agent Systems and their relevance to cognitive science and to theories of social behaviour. We examine some of what we believe to be central issues in the theory of Multi-Agent Systems and relate them to issues in Cognitive Science. Our aims are to introduce Multi-Agent Systems and to show how they can be illuminating as modelling devices in the production of cognitive theories that relate the individual to social context.
