Abstract

Exception handling has received little interest in the agent community despite its challenges to build more reliable agent systems. In this paper, we survey existing work on exception handling for Multi-Agent Systems. We tried to identify in the present literature what research directions are required and likely to improve current techniques. In particular, we think that the agent proactivity and context in the systems are potential characteristics to exploit for agent-level exception handling.
