Michael N. Huhns
Michael Huhns studies how computational intelligence can be distributed and how autonomous systems can coordinate. Huhns received an electrical engineering doctorate from the University of Southern California in 1975. His research career later included distributed AI projects at the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation. Huhns edited Distributed Artificial Intelligence, published in 1987. His research page places the volume within work on multi-agent communication and negotiation.
