  Distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) studies artificial intelligence
entities working together to reason, plan, solve problems, organize behaviors
and strategies, make collective decisions and learn. This Ph.D. research
proposes a principled Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) cooperation framework --
Self-Adaptive Swarm System (SASS) -- to bridge the fourth level automation gap
between perception, communication, planning, execution, decision-making, and
learning.
