An Agent-Based Modeling Textbook, Free in Alpha
José M. Vidal is writing a textbook called “Fundamentals of MultiAgent Systems”, and he’s posted an alpha version on his site, with a call for comments. It’s here:
Fundamentals of Multiagent Systems Textbook
The link to the .pdf seems a bit flakey, but if you try a couple of times it should come through.
Apparently the book is based on his experiences running a grad course in agent based systems. Cool.
He also runs this user-blog on multi-agent systems:
which works on the mechanism that if you assign a weblink in del.icio.us with a certain tag (for:jmvidal), that link and your accompanying text will show up on the blog. Neat.
