Summary: This book is an excellent formal discussion of DAI.
Review: This book could serve as a text book for an class in agent technology. In particular, the formal description ofcommunication theory in chapter 3, "Logical Foundations of Distributed Artificial Intelligence" is a must read for anyserious student of the field. This text is not for the average reader, but is invaluable to anyone who intends to pursue serious work in the field of DAI.

Summary: The most important book for understanding distributed AI
Review: This book is the best source for obtaining knowledge about Distributed AI and Intelligent Agents. In particular I will recommend the chapters about coordination techniques and negotiation in multi-agent systems, as well as the thorough introduction (with a lot of good references!). Chapters in this book covers about half of the curriculum in the "Distributed AI and Intelligent Agents" course at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Note: students* find this book rather tough to read!
