Hybrid Multi-Agent Systems

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 310))

Abstract

Hybrid systems have grown tremendously in the past few years due to their abilities to offset the demerits of one technique by the merits of another. This chapter presents a number of computational intelligence techniques which are useful in the implementation of hybrid multi-agent systems. A brief review of the applications of the hybrid multi-agent systems is presented.
