Tóm tắt

Agents have been touted as a very promising technology that have inspired many researchers around the world to develop prototype systems that seem to change the way software works. With major organizations involved in projects that utilize agents as solutions, it is believed that agents may have the potential to be part of everyday life in the future. This paper briefly discusses the implementation of multi-agents in university timetabling where agents have to communicate with each other in order to produce a good timetable.
