“MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM“
The author is fully aware that many flaws in the writing of this ISAS, in
terms of materials, technical, and presentation material. therefore, the author
expect criticism and constructive suggestion to further refine the writing of this
ISAS. Hopefully, this ISAS report about Multi-Agent System in ISA can be useful
for readers.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
I.1 Background
There are different types of Information System Architectures, but
there has been no structural comparison between the different types. In this
document, the author develops a structured approach to evaluate the three
main architectures of information systems, the planning of company
resources, Service Oriented Architecture and Multi-Agent Systems, based
on a structured approach. Furthermore, the author provides in this
document an in-depth analysis of the key features of the three main ISA.
In this document, the author develops a systematic and structured approach
to pairwise comparisons and evaluate these key features of the main
architectures based on the Information System development framework
developed by Zachman. The purpose of this document is two, first, to
develop a suitable structure for comparing Information System
Architecture, and comparing Multi-Agent System to other architecture
(Service Oriented Architecture, and Multi-Agent System).

I.4 Writing
The writing method used by the author is an observation method.
That is the collection of materials that will be discussed and analyzed and
examined from internet sources and draws conclusions from all reports
obtained from the study.

BASIC THEORY
II.1 Introduction
The following purpose of this document is two, first, to develop a
suitable structure for comparing ISA and comparing Multi-Agent System
to other architecture (Service Oriented Architecture and Enterprise
Resource Planning).

II.3 Information Systems Architecture
Business processes, rules, systems structure, technical framework,
and product technologies for a business or organizational information
system is a formal definition of Information System Architecture. Before
becoming information, data must be created, stored, processed, analyzed
and distributed. Information systems can be characterized by their
functions: generation, storage, presentation, exchange, interpretation,
transformation and transport of information.

of view on the information systems. In a single cell of the framework,
there is a unique representation of the architecture. This representation can
either be described as graphical or textual. The advantages of this
framework are that it can structure and describe complex systems. A
segmented and portioned view of the individual variables of the
information systems is presented, thus making it possible to compare
architectures. Here's how Zachman describes it using a table.

PROBLEM ANALYSIS
III.1 Characteristic of Architecture
The three architectures that are described and compared are ERP,
SOA, and MAS. The described properties are Properties of the
architectures themselves, how they work and communicate. Characteristics
of implementation, effect to an organization, management implications,
and users Implications are not described. In this document we will discuss
mainly on the Multi-Agent System and their difference between other
architecture.

another using cooperation and communication to meet a predetermined
goal. In the second system, agents are not necessarily designed to work
together towards one goal, agents can have interesting behavior. In an
open system, agents can join and leave the environment, making it more
dynamic than an MAS, where all agents are known and can trust each
other. An agent can have one or multiple roles, a role defines what an
agent is supposed to do.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
IV.1 Conclusion
The Multi-Agent System is a set of agents that interact with each
other to achieve the same goal. Agents interact in many ways, such as
exchanges of information, requests for particular actions and cooperation,
coordination and negotiation to organize interdependent activities. There
are two types of systems in which agents occur, Multi-agent systems and
open systems. In the first one, all the different agents work towards a
common goal or objective. In the second system, agents are not necessarily
designed to work together towards one goal, agents can have different
goals and dynamic system.
IV.2 Suggestion
MAS is capable of coping with and dynamic environments, in
addition, not all components or other agents need to be known or, in the
case of a complex problem, not everything has to be mapped and coded to
create a working system. It is recommended to use MAS in a dynamic,
fast-changing environment or if goals often change.
