Multi-Agent Systems and Applications: 9th ECCAI Advanced Course ACAI 2001 and Agent Link's 3rd European Agent Systems Summer School, EASSS 2001, Prague, Czech Republic, July 2-13, 2001. Selected Tutorial Papers. This is the full title of the conference proceedings.

The study of multi-agent systems (MAS) has become a significant subfield of artificial intelligence, as well as a vibrant area of research and development in computer science. This book includes selected tutorial papers presented at the 9th ECCAI Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence (ACAI 2001) and AgentLink's 3rd European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS 2001), which were held jointly in Prague, Czech Republic, in July 2001.

The papers cover a wide range of topics in the field of MAS, including:

• Agent architectures and languages
• Agent communication and cooperation
• Agent learning and adaptation
• Agent societies and organizations
• Applications of MAS in various domains

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in MAS research and is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners in the field. Some of the papers included in the book are:

• "Perspectives on Organizations in Multi-agent Systems" by Jacques Ferber
• "Social Knowledge in Multi-agent Systems" by Carles Sierra
