Abstract

Multi-agent systems are a kind of concurrent distributed systems. In this work, some guidelines on how to create multi-agent systems using Erlang are presented. The modelled system supports cooperation among agents by plan exchange, reconfiguration and has a certain fault-tolerance. The distributed and concurrent functional programming Erlang, together with OTP platform, allows the creation of high-availability and fault-tolerant concurrent and distributed systems, and it seems to be an interesting framework for implementing multi-agent systems.
