Abstract :
Multi-agent systems (MAS) are collections of autonomous intelligent entities that collaborate in the joint resolution of a complex problem. In this paper we argue that MAS are well suited to tackle travel industry problems, and propose a multi-agent architecture for the travel support system. Our paper explores some of the methodologies for multi-agent systems development and examines an open source Java toolkit called, JADE for building a multi-agent system for travel industry support.
