Improving Intelligent Systems: Specialization

  • Conference paper
Highlights of Practical Applications of Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems. The PAAMS Collection (PAAMS 2014)

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 430))

Abstract

The specialization exists in biological systems and in human organizations, as a methodology to improve processes and optimize their aims. This specialization in artificial intelligent systems such as multi-agent systems, can improve their aims, depending on the type of specialization and the goals which they need to achieve. The enterprise networks are a collaboration model between companies which we can apply over these intelligent systems, so that, these systems can achieve more complex aims. Therefore, in this collaboration type, is necessary to consider their specialization type, and how they could collaborate to achieve aims, that by themselves would not be possible.
