Research Notes in Artificial Intelligence: Distributed Artificial Intelligence, Volume II focuses on the growing interest in Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). The selection first offers information on a unified theory of communication and social structure and boundary objects and heterogeneous distributed problem solving. Discussions focus on types of boundary objects, heterogeneous problem solving and boundary objects, social structures and social groups, and social cooperation and communication. The text then examines representing and using organizational knowledge in DAI systems, dynamics of computational ecosystems, and communication-free interactions among rational agents. The publication takes a look at conflict-resolution strategies for nonhierarchical distributed agents, constraint-directed negotiation of resource reallocations, and plans for multiple agents. Topics include plan verification, generation, and execution, negotiation operators, representation, network management problem, and conflict-resolution paradigms. The manuscript then elaborates on negotiating task decomposition and allocation using partial global planning and mechanisms for assessing nonlocal impact of local decisions in distributed planning. The selection is a valuable source of information for researchers interested in distributed artificial intelligence.
