Description : The book presents a theoretical and technical background for applying MAS (Multi Agent Systems) in Architecture, Engineering and Construction. It focuses in the early design stage and makes use of domain specific data which relate to different design domains (structural, environmental, architectural design) to inform the agent behaviors. The proposed framework is applicable especially to design problems which traditionally require the close collaboration of engineers and architects. Presents a taxonomy of complexity correlated with the evolution of construction paradigms. Introduces the alternative paradigm of Complex Adaptive Systems. Develops a design approach that facilitates data passing between different types of models.
