As the computing paradigm shifts from cloud computing to end-edge-cloud computing, it also supports artificialintelligence evolving from a centralized manner to a distributed one. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on the distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) empowered by end-edge-cloud computing (EECC), where the heterogeneous capabilities of on-device computing, edge computing, and cloud computing are orchestrated to satisfy the diverse requirements raised by resource-intensive and distributed AI computation. Particularly, we first introduce several mainstream computing paradigms and the benefits of the EECC paradigm in supporting distributed AI, as well as the fundamental technologies for distributed AI. We then derive a holistic taxonomy for the state-of-the-art optimization technologies that are empowered by EECC to boost distributed training and inference, respectively. After that, we point out security and privacy threats in DAI-EECC architecture and review the benefits and shortcomings of each enabling defense technology in accordance with the threats. Finally, we present some promising applications enabled by DAI-EECC and highlight several research challenges and open issues toward immersive performance acquisition.

The aim of this paper is to point out some of the abilities of distributed artificial intelligence in the domain of scheduling, control and design support of Flexible Manufacturing Systems. A distributed management system is proposed, based on distributed Problem Solving, sub-field of distributed artificial intelligence. The basic concepts are the concept of Resource Management Entity to ensure local optimization of the management of resources and the concept of cooperation to provide ability for global and local consistency. The management of resources is associated to activities such as scheduling, control or simulation. It is shown that this system computes not only practicable schedulings, but also presents, on the one hand, some abilities in supporting the design and the robust optimization of Flexible Manufacturing Systems, and, on the other hand, some abilities in supporting real-time control of such systems. This enables, in future works, to design a distributed Decision Support System for integrated scheduling, control and design support of production systems.

Device-to-device (D2D) communication, a core technology component of the evolving fifth-generation (5G) architecture, promises improvements in energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, overall system capacity, and higher data rates. These improvements in network performance spearheaded a vast amount of research in D2D, which identified significant challenges that need to be addressed before realizing their full potential in 5G networks, and beyond. Toward this end, this article proposes the use of a distributed intelligent approach to control the generation of D2D networks. More precisely, the proposed approach uses Belief Desire Intention (BDI) intelligent agents with extended capabilities (BDIx) to manage each D2D node independently and autonomously, without the help of the base station. To illustrate the above, this article proposes the DAIS algorithm for the decision of transmission mode in D2D, which maximizes the data rate and minimizes the power consumption in the network, while taking into consideration the computational load. Simulations show the applicability of BDI agents in solving D2D challenges.

Decision support systems (DSS's) for aiding group problem-solving situations have become increasingly important for supporting and coordinating complex organizations. This paper describes a framework for designing, developing, and formalizing group problem-solving systems based on distributed artificial intelligence (DAI). Among the issues, we find the coordination mechanisms and the learning schemes to be of particular importance in supporting group problem solving. Two implementation examples, one on a network of expert systems, one on a multi-agent concurrent design system, are used to illustrate the distributed artificial intelligence approach to group decision support.

A distributed artificial intelligence based system for process planning in surface mount printed circuit board assembly was designed and developed. Multiple intelligent agents work together to read a CAD drawing of an assembly and subsequently deduce the process instructions needed. The system can also review a board from a 'design for manufacturing' perspective and identify the cost of assembly. It uses fuzzy logic to deal with domain related uncertainty. Object oriented programming concepts have been used in system implementation.

A feature in a telecommunications system is a package of functionality incrementally added to a service to enhance or modify it. A feature may interact with its environment in a way that interferes with the feature's desired operation. A feature's environment may include the telecommunications system. other features and services, and other instances of the same feature. The feature-interaction problem deals with the detection, prevention, and resolution of undesired feature interactions. The feature-interaction problem has many different instances. This article argues that some instances lend themselves to a distributed artificial intelligence approach. The use of DAI techniques in current telecommunications systems appears quite natural in light of two trends in the way these systems are designed: the distribution of functionality and the incorporation of ''intelligence.'' There are two basic ways to introduce agents into a telecommunications system. In certain cases, it is feasible to encapsulate services or features in agents. DAI techniques for dealing with interactions between agents can then be used to detect and deal with interactions between the encapsulated services or features. Agents can also be used to represent a user's or network provider's notion of what constitutes ''desirable'' operation of services and features. DAI negotiation techniques may help in finding an acceptable way to operate when conflicts arise over what is desirable. The author illustrates the relevance of DAI techniques to the feature-interaction problem by discussing existing work (Lodes, Team-CPS, Multistage Negotiation, and Negotiating Agents) that addresses one or more instances of the problem. He further identifies the kind of cooperation and coordination that the feature-interaction problem requires and the interesting research problems it poses to distributed artificial intelligence.

distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) deals with computational systems where several intelligent components interact in a common environment. This paper is aimed at pointing out and fostering the exchange between DAI and cognitive and social science in order to deal with the issues of interaction, and in particular with the reasons and possible strategies for social behaviour in multi-agent interaction is also described which is motivated by requirements of cognitive plausibility and grounded the notions of power, dependence and help. Connections with human-computer interaction are also suggested.

Smart cities are claimed to be smart if the new technologies are capable of providing desired sustainable outcome. The sustainable properties of smart city applications require less energy consumption and efficient resource allocation. The Internet-of-Things (IoT), 5G, and fog networks have emerged as the most crucial researched areas due to their numerous applications for smart cities to provide the desired sustainable outcome. The sustainable properties of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play a vital role in the deployment of these technologies into the physical world and efficient utilization of the available spectrum is a major problem faced here. As a potential solution of this, Cognitive Radio (CR) merged with WSN as Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs) make the smart perspective with high resource management through cooperative communication. The proposed work establishes a dynamic correlation between Secondary Users/nodes (SUs) in a single cluster according to their statistical behavior at the time of performing smart cooperative communication in CRSNs to improve sustainability of smart world IoT applications. distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) is used to calculate the real-time resource allocation to these clusters using their respective Coordinator Agent (CoA) based on the dynamic behaviors. To improve sustainability in the smart city applications, the time delay in the prediction of vacant channels is reduced which results in making these applications become more energy efficient. The effectiveness of the proposed work is illustrated with mathematical analysis and simulation results confirm its better sustainable performance compared to the existing techniques.
