Multiagent Systems:

Algorithmic, Game Theoretic, and Logical Foundations

by Shoham and Leyton-Brown

Thank you for taking the time to point out, and possibly correct, mistakes in the book. Please include anything from simple grammatical mistakes to content errors. To make it most useful to everyone, please follow the following conventions:

  • Each chapter has its own page; the links are below. Insert entries in the correct chapter, and within the chapter in order of pages in the book.
  • Write each item in the suggested format. Even if you've never seen Wiki code before it will be obvious how to do it from the existing examples. But see explicit instructions below.
  • Distinguish between misleading errors and more benign mistakes by highlighting the former with boldface font. Again, see either existing examples or the instructions below.

Entry format

The format of an entry is shown in the following example:

  • Page number: 2
    • Section number: 1
    • Date: January 9, 2008
    • Name: Yoav Shoham
    • Email: shoham@stanford.edu
    • Content: In the last bullet, before section 1.1: "... control multiple robots" => "... control *of* multiple robots".

The Page number and Content fields are required; the others are optional.

The corresponding Wiki code follows. When you use this code, make sure there are no spaces starting any line, as this is the "verbatim" command for Wikis.

 * Page number: 2
 ** Section number: 1
 ** Date: January 9, 2008
 ** Name: Yoav Shoham
 ** Email: shoham@stanford.edu
 ** Content: In the last bullet, before section 1.1: "... control multiple robots" => "... control *of* multiple robots".

The above example is of a benign mistake. The following is a confusing typo, a fact indicated by boldfacing the first line:

  • Page number: 35
    • Name: Yoav Shoham
    • Content: In def 2.3.7, the last u(i,j) should be u(i,k)

This is achieved by placing three regular quotes before and after the text (again, without any leading space before the *):

 * '''Page number: 35'''
 ** Name: Yoav Shoham
 ** Content: In def 2.3.7, the last u(i,j) should be u(i,k)

Here are some useful default pages installed along with the PmWiki software:
