Adaptation and Learning in Multi-Agent Systems: Some Remarks and a Bibliography

. In the last years the topic of adaptation and learning in multi-agent systems has gained increasing attention in Artificial Intelligence. This article is intended to provide a compact, introductory and motivational guide to this topic. The article consists of two sections. In the first section, "Remarks", the range and complexity of this topic is outlined by taking a general look at the concept of multi-agent systems and at the notion of adaptation and learning in these systems. This includes a description of key dimensions for classifying multi-agent systems, as well as a description of key criteria for characterizing single-agent and multi-agent learning as the two principal categories of learning in multiagent systems. In the second section, "Bibliography", an extensive list of pointers to relevant and related work on multi-agent learning done in (Distributed) Artificial Intelligence, economics, and other disciplines is provided. 1.
