Abstract
Cloud computing that follows service-oriented architecture is useful for intelligent agent or multi-agent system (MAS) communication. Their use in representation and construction, parallel, and published applications is identified here and shows similarities, contrasts, and potential combinations between cloud computing and multi-agent structures. Long execution complex structure with clever applications works with MAS to showcase cloud computing. The assembling of interfaces within MAS that requires reliable scattering systems and cloud computing systems that require programs with clever, enthusiastic, versatile, and independent behavior can be current systems and applications. The engineering of a system consisting of MAS that primarily focuses on the materials of cost transactions between cloud users and providers is planned to mitigate the disadvantages of both cloud clients and cloud providers and exploit the full potential of cloud computing. As it turns out, as innovation develops and solves increasingly complex applications, the need for an integrated framework of multiple operators communicating in peer-to-peer mode is becoming clear. Central to the design and operation of such MAS is the focus of a problem and research question that has long been tested by all communities. Arrange it like a cloud environment.
