After leaving the cotton factory “Carnegie became a messenger boy for the Pittsburgh telegraph office and eventually made his way up to telegraph operator” (Tyle). According to Laura B. Tyle “Thomas A.

Finally, it elevates the system performance in general, particularly in result accuracy, quick reaction, elasticity, identifying problems, and accelerating of fixing them (Carnegie Mellon University, 2012). On the other hand, MAS has several obstacles such as: distributed computation, which means the difficulty of distribution tasks between agents and collection results from them to synthesize the final result. Communication is the
