Distributed artificial intelligence

Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) also called Decentralized Artificial Intelligence is a subfield of artificial intelligence research dedicated to the development of distributed solutions for problems utilizing techniques from artificial intelligence, communication theory, control theory, and interaction theory. It concerns the cooperative solution of problems by a decentralized group of computational entities (agents).

DAI is closely related to and a predecessor of the field of multi-agent systems. They are distinguished generally by multi-agent systems being open, where the entities might arise from different interests and have individual goals, and distributed artificial-intelligence systems, where the entities have common goals. There are numerous applications and tools.
