Abstract
The convergence of autonomy and adaptive architectures in distributed systems heralds a transformative era for the next-generation Internet, marking a significant leap from traditional centralized frameworks. This chapter delves into the intricate symbiosis between autonomous agents and multiagent systems (MASs) within the decentralized paradigm, underscoring their pivotal role in enhancing system adaptability, resilience, and scalability. Through a meticulous examination of the conceptual underpinnings and evolutionary trajectory of MAS, the discourse extends to the nuanced definition and operationalization of autonomy within these distributed networks. Architectural models and adaptive strategies are scrutinized, revealing their instrumental function in fostering robust, scalable, and efficient decentralized systems. A series of case studies spanning smart grids, water distribution, and transportation systems serve as empirical testaments to the pragmatic application ...
