Swarm intelligence is an umbrella for amount optimization algorithms. This discipline deals with natural and artificial systems composed of many individuals that coordinate their activities using decentralized control and self-organization. In general, multi-agent systems that use some swarm intelligence are said to be swarm intelligent systems. They are mostly used as search engines and optimization tools. The goal of this special issue has been to offer a wide spectrum of sample works throughout the world about innovative methodologies of swarm intelligence. The issue should be useful both for beginners and experienced researchers in the field of computational intelligence.

Three foundational principles are introduced: intelligent systems such as those that would pass the Turing test should display multi-agent or interactional intelligence; multi-agent systems should be based on conceptual structures common to all interacting agents, machine and human; and multi-agent systems should have an underlying interactional logic such as dialogue logic. In particular, a multi-agent rather than an orthodox analysis of the key concepts of knowledge and belief is discussed. The contrast that matters is the difference between the different questions and answers about the support for claims to know and claims to believe. A simple multi-agent system based on dialogue theory which provides for such a difference is set out.

Abstract The paper proposes the model for negotiating intelligent agents’ ontologies in cohesive hybrid intelligent multi-agent systems. Intelligent agent in this study will be called relatively autonomous software entity with developed domain models and goal-setting mechanisms. When such agents have to work together within single hybrid intelligent multi-agent systems to solve some problem, the working process “go wild”, if there are significant differences between the agents’ “points of view” on the domain, goals and rules of joint work. In this regard, in order to reduce labor costs for integrating intelligent agents into a single system, the concept of cohesive hybrid intelligent multi-agent systems was proposed that implement mechanisms for negotiating goals, domain models and building a protocol for solving the problems posed. The presence of these mechanisms is especially important when building intelligent systems from intelligent agents created by various independent development teams.

Abstract Precisely when the success of artificial intelligence (AI) sub-symbolic techniques makes them be identified with the whole AI by many non-computer-scientists and non-technical media, symbolic approaches are getting more and more attention as those that could make AI amenable to human understanding. Given the recurring cycles in the AI history, we expect that a revamp of technologies often tagged as “classical AI”—in particular, logic-based ones—will take place in the next few years. On the other hand, agents and multi-agent systems (MAS) have been at the core of the design of intelligent systems since their very beginning, and their long-term connection with logic-based technologies, which characterised their early days, might open new ways to engineer explainable intelligent systems. This is why understanding the current status of logic-based technologies for MAS is nowadays of paramount importance. Accordingly, this paper aims at providing a comprehensive view of those technologies by making them the subject of a systematic literature review (SLR). The resulting technologies are discussed and evaluated from two different perspectives: the MAS and the logic-based ones.
