1.0 out of 5 stars a disappointing academic text, 2 Feb 2008

By	reviewer1978 "reviewer1978" (U.K.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Multiagent Systems: A Modern Approach to Distributed Artificial Intelligence (Paperback)

This is a heavy-weight text that promises a lot. The table of contents suggests a useful coverage of many important areas in distributed artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, this book is full of loose and unsupported statements such as claims of multi-agent systems automatically leading to computational speed-ups due to parallelism. This is, of course, a radical claim for anyone with real-world experience in designing these systems. In this sense, the book is very unbalanced, neglecting to emphasise the difficulties in designing these systems and not providing any guidelines on how to do so. The authors would have been better consulting distributed AI architects to anchor this text in the real world. Do not waste your time here if you intend to attempt to develop reliable and efficient multi-agent systems.
