TC Leadership
Our Goal
The Technical Committee on Distributed Intelligent Systems is an international special interest group of specialists active in the research and applications of collaborative agent-based systems. Key application areas include manufacturing and supply chains, and infrastructures for service, energy, transportation, and emergency management systems. The core research topics for these applications include agent architectures, agent intelligence, agent communications, agent collaboration, agent simulation and optimization, and agent human-machine interfaces. An important methodology of distributed intelligent systems is the role-based approach for collaborative agent design.
