> Due to the heterogeneity of multi-agent systems a single approach focussing on all one o issues is often not enough. This issue's goals are to present new directions of research into the coordination and control of multi-agent systems, by bringing together researchers working in all the areas. Intelligent agents possess several important computational roles. These include the ability to communicate, cooperate, collaborate, but all these must be coordinated. This special issue presents an overview of the abilities for coordination and cooperation. Self-interest is a key characteristic of multi-agent systems. Agents pursue their individual objectives. These objectives while consistent but canbe completely contradicting - often require cooperation between agents, and in particular, often cannot be ensured by individual agents. As a consequence, actions and behaviors need to be coordinated to satisfy the agents' objectives, however they also have to be controlled to meet the
encompassing goal systems specifications. Coordination games can represent interactions between multiple agents in many real-life situations. Combining model learning techniques, agents tend to become more consistent in effective cooperative behavior.
