Recensione:

"Jacques Ferber guides his readers responsibly and engagingly through the best of classical AI-based agent research while opening their eyes to a powerful new version of swarm-based intelligence. I know of no other book on agents...that matches its coprehensive treatment and clear, enjoyable exposition."
Van Parunak

"Jacques Ferber can legitimately claim to be one of the founders of the discipline that is today known as multi-agent systems. In Multi-Agent Systems, he draws on over a decade of experience as a first-rate researcher and teacher in order to set out a coherent, unified view of the field. The end result is a readable and comprehensive textbook, that will be enthusiastically received by a growing and increasingly important discipline."
Mike Wooldridge,

"This book is easily the most comprehensive textbook on multi-agent systems and collective intelligence that I have seen. Not only does it provide very broad and insightful perspectives on such core topics as agent interaction, coordination, communication, and self-organization; it also offers the reader a number of novel and pragmatic techniques for modeling and developing complex multitasking operational systems."
