Coordination and Cognition of a Multi Agent System - a Literature Survey

The Multi agent system has been emerged as the most dominant research wing in the broad domain of artificial intelligence in recent time. The researchers endeavored to make several architectures to construct multi agent system with all its rational properties like autonomy, proactiveness, reactivity and social ability. Communication, cooperation and cognition are the fields relating multi agent system intimately and most researchers tried to configure those components in their proposed multi agent system architecture to make the environment more rational. In this paper we have tried to make a complete literature survey basically to focus all those attempts. Our intention is to provide a fruitful roadmap to the young researchers to design most developed multi agent system based on the best communication, co-operation, and cognition protocols.
