Service Composition and Coordination
(KM-SC)



Multi-agent systems can deploy various coordination and cooperation techniques (such as contract net) to implement the execution of composed services.  [Micsik et al. 2009]
Service Infrastructure
(KM-SI)



Multi-agent systems are capable to monitor and manage resource and service provisioning by applying sensors to monitor the state of resources or services and using effectors to control the operation of these resources.  [Micsik et al. 2009]
Generic
(domain independent)



A multi-agent system (MAS) consists of agents that jointly solve a given problem by coordinating their individual behaviors. A multi-agent system is being formed by the inter-relations of the agents, not by an explicitly given problem. [BREIN Glossary]
