<p><b>Distributed artificial intelligence</b> (<b>DAI</b>) also called Decentralized Artificial Intelligence<sup id="cite_ref-Demazeau_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Demazeau-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is a subfield of <a href="Artificial_intelligence" title="Artificial intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> research dedicated to the development of distributed solutions for problems. DAI is closely related to and a predecessor of the field of <a href="Multi-agent_system" title="Multi-agent system">multi-agent systems</a>.
</p><p>Multi-agent systems and distributed problem solving are the two main DAI approaches. There are numerous applications and tools.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Definition">Definition</h2></div>
<p>Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) is an approach to solving complex learning, <a href="Automated_planning" class="mw-redirect" title="Automated planning">planning</a>, and decision-making problems. It is <a href="Embarrassingly_parallel" title="Embarrassingly parallel">embarrassingly parallel</a>, thus able to exploit large scale computation and <a href="Spatial_distribution" title="Spatial distribution">spatial distribution</a> of <a href="System_resource" title="System resource">computing resources</a>. These properties allow it to solve problems that require the processing of very large <a href="Data_set" title="Data set">data sets</a>. DAI systems consist of autonomous learning <a href="Processing_mode" title="Processing mode">processing nodes</a> (<a href="Intelligent_agent" title="Intelligent agent">agents</a>), that are distributed, often at a very large scale. DAI nodes can act independently, and partial solutions are integrated by communication between nodes, <a href="Asynchrony_(computer_programming)" title="Asynchrony (computer programming)">often asynchronously</a>. By virtue of their scale, DAI systems are robust and elastic, and by necessity, loosely coupled. Furthermore, DAI systems are built to be adaptive to changes in the problem definition or underlying data sets due to the scale and difficulty in redeployment.
</p><p>DAI systems do not require all the relevant data to be <a href="Aggregate_data" title="Aggregate data">aggregated</a> in a single location, in contrast to <a href="Monolithic_application" title="Monolithic application">monolithic</a> or <a href="Centralized_computing" title="Centralized computing">centralized</a> Artificial Intelligence systems which have tightly coupled and geographically close processing nodes. Therefore, DAI systems often operate on sub-samples or hashed impressions of very large <a href="Training%2C_validation%2C_and_test_data_sets" title="Training, validation, and test data sets">datasets</a>. In addition, the source dataset may change or be updated during the course of the execution of a DAI system.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2></div>
<p>In 1975 distributed artificial intelligence emerged as a subfield of artificial intelligence that dealt with interactions of intelligent agents.<sup id="cite_ref-Chaib_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Chaib-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Distributed artificial intelligence systems were conceived as a group of intelligent entities, called agents, that interacted by cooperation, by coexistence or by competition. DAI is categorized into multi-agent systems and distributed problem solving.<sup id="cite_ref-Bond_Gasser_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bond_Gasser-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In <a href="Multi-agent_system" title="Multi-agent system">multi-agent systems</a> the main focus is how agents coordinate their knowledge and activities. For distributed problem solving the major focus is how the problem is decomposed and the solutions are synthesized.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Goals">Goals</h2></div>
<p>The objectives of Distributed Artificial Intelligence are to solve the <a href="Automated_reasoning" title="Automated reasoning">reasoning</a>, planning, learning and perception problems of <a href="Artificial_intelligence" title="Artificial intelligence">artificial intelligence</a>, especially if they require large data, by distributing the problem to autonomous processing nodes (agents). To reach the objective, DAI requires:
</p>
<ul><li>A <a href="Distributed_computing" title="Distributed computing">distributed system</a> with robust and elastic computation on unreliable and failing resources that are loosely coupled</li>
<li>Coordination of the actions and communication of the nodes</li>
<li>Subsamples of large data sets and <a href="Online_machine_learning" title="Online machine learning">online machine learning</a></li></ul>
<p>There are many reasons for wanting to distribute intelligence or cope with multi-agent systems. Mainstream problems in DAI research include the following:

<ul><li>Parallel problem solving: mainly deals with how classic artificial intelligence concepts can be modified, so that <a href="Multiprocessor" class="mw-redirect" title="Multiprocessor">multiprocessor</a> systems and clusters of computers can be used to speed up calculation.</li>
<li>Distributed <a href="Problem_solving" title="Problem solving">problem solving</a> (DPS): the concept of <a href="Intelligent_agent" title="Intelligent agent">agent</a>, autonomous entities that can communicate with each other, was developed to serve as an <a href="Abstraction" title="Abstraction">abstraction</a> for developing DPS systems.

<li>Multi-Agent Based Simulation (MABS): a branch of DAI that builds the foundation for simulations that need to analyze not only phenomena at <a href="Macroscopic" class="mw-redirect" title="Macroscopic">macro</a> level but also at <a href="Microscopic_scale" title="Microscopic scale">micro</a> level, as it is in many <a href="Social_simulation" title="Social simulation">social simulation</a> scenarios.</li></ul>

<p>Two types of DAI has emerged:
</p>
<ul><li>In <a href="Multi-agent_system" title="Multi-agent system">Multi-agent systems</a> agents coordinate their knowledge and activities and reason about the processes of coordination. Agents are physical or virtual entities that can act, perceive its environment and communicate with other agents. The agent is autonomous and has skills to achieve goals. The agents change the state of their environment by their actions. There are a number of different coordination techniques.<sup id="cite_ref-Jennings_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jennings-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li>In distributed problem solving the work is divided among nodes and the knowledge is shared. The main concerns are task decomposition and synthesis of the knowledge and solutions.</li></ul>
<p>DAI can apply a bottom-up approach to AI, similar to the <a href="Subsumption_architecture" title="Subsumption architecture">subsumption architecture</a> as well as the traditional top-down
approach of AI. In addition, DAI can also be a vehicle for <a href="Emergence" title="Emergence">emergence</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Challenges">Challenges</h3></div>
<p>The challenges in Distributed AI are:
</p>
<ol><li>How to carry out communication and interaction of agents and which communication language or protocols should be used.</li>
<li>How to ensure the coherency of agents.</li>
<li>How to synthesise the results among 'intelligent agents' group by formulation, description, decomposition and allocation.</li></ol>

<p>Notion of Agents: Agents can be described as distinct entities with standard boundaries and interfaces designed for problem solving.
</p><p>Notion of Multi-Agents: Multi-Agent system is defined as a network of agents which are loosely coupled working as a single entity like society for problem solving that an individual agent cannot solve.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Software_agents">Software agents</h3></div>
<p>The key concept used in DPS and MABS is the abstraction called <a href="Software_agent" title="Software agent">software agents</a>. An agent is a virtual (or physical) <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autonomy" class="extiw external" title="wiktionary:autonomy">autonomous</a> entity that has an understanding of its environment and acts upon it. An agent is usually able to communicate with other agents in the same system to achieve a common goal, that one agent alone could not achieve. This communication system uses an <a href="Agent_communication_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Agent communication language">agent communication language</a>.
</p><p>A first classification that is useful is to divide agents into:
</p>
<ul><li>reactive agent – A reactive agent is not much more than an automaton that receives input, processes it and produces an output.</li>
<li>deliberative agent – A <a href="Deliberative_agent" title="Deliberative agent">deliberative agent</a> in contrast should have an internal view of its environment and is able to follow its own plans.</li>
<li>hybrid agent – A hybrid agent is a mixture of reactive and deliberative, that follows its own plans, but also sometimes directly reacts to external events without deliberation.</li></ul>
<p>Well-recognized agent architectures that describe how an agent is internally structured are:
</p>
<ul><li><a href="ASMO_(cognitive_architecture)" class="mw-redirect" title="ASMO (cognitive architecture)">ASMO</a> (emergence of distributed modules)</li>
<li><a href="BDI_software_agent" class="mw-redirect" title="BDI software agent">BDI</a> (Believe Desire Intention, a general architecture that describes how plans are made)</li>
<li>InterRAP (A three-layer architecture, with a reactive, a deliberative and a social layer)</li>
<li>PECS (Physics, Emotion, Cognition, Social, describes how those four parts influences the agents behavior).</li>
