The new paradigm, multi-agent systems (MAS), has become a powerful solution for distrib-uted control. Multi-agent systems can be used to deal with problems that are difficult or im-possible to solve for an individual agent or a monolithic system. Highlighting the powers of multi-agent systems in solving complex problems by dividing the necessary knowledge into sub-units with which an independent intelligent agent is associated and by coordinating the activity of agents.In this book, an advanced literature review is conducted on the agent concept, the architecture of multi-agent systems, and multi-agent platforms. And an application of multi-agent systems is presented as part of the design of an IT Governance, IT Risk and IT Compliance (IT GRC) repository based on all IT best practices to effectively meet the IT needs defined by stakeholders of an organization.Many organizations have deployed and integrated IT GRC practices. However, the problem that arises is how to develop a global intelligent framework adapted to each organization to meet their strategic needs.
