ABSTRACT
Multi-agent system (MAS) is a collection of multiple autonomous agents that works together in order to achieve a common goal, it is one of the emerging technologies for the system development and gained its popularity very rapidly due to the reason that a complex and distributed system can easily be developed by using MAS Technology. Now, it has been used in almost every real life applications whether it is simple E-commerce auction or air-traffic control system. Recently, it has also appeared in educational environment, several Multi-agent based E-learning systems have been designed and implemented incorporating different features. This paper analyses and compares different existing Multi-agent based E-learning systems on the basis of their features like Interactivity, adaptability, Security, etc.
