Title: Asynchronous Multi Agent Systems
Duration: 45 (includes Q&A)
Q&A Session: 0
Language: en
Type: Talk

Abstract: “An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors
and acting upon that environment through effectors”.

The interaction of multiple intelligent agents with an evironment allows a system to come up with solutions for very complex problems that could not be easily solved by a single agent or by a big monolithic solution.

In this talk, we will discuss what these agents are, what are their characteristics, how they intercat with each other and how they manage to solve problems. We will be analysing a simulation of a server cluster and buiold a simple system that can detect problems in the servers and interact with the system to solve them or to alert a human operator.
We will be using Python 3 and a combination of asyncio and aiomas to write the agents.

As this is going to be an introductory talk, only knowledge of basic concepts in Python and asynchronous programming will be required.
