Abstract

The multi-agent system is an environment in which applications solve tasks by cooperating with each other. In the multi-agent system, a user can solve complex problems by issuing a single command instead of a series of commands. However, agents depend on the state of other agents for they cooperate with each other. The problem worsens as multi-agent systems are connected to from a group of multi-agent systems. In this paper, we present the termination problem of an agent in a multi-agent system or a group of multi-agent systems. We also give a solution of the problem and present an example through implemented multi-agent systems.
