Abstract: Agent and multiagent systems are nowadays a very active field of research although it has emerged in eighties. This field is in fact a very multidisciplinary field since it is sustained by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Distributed Systems, Software Engineering, etc. It focuses mainly on collective behaviours induced by interactions of several autonomous entities called "agents"". Such interactions can have as finality cooperation, competition or simply some coexistence between agents. This article introduces readers to this active field. To this end, it introduces some preliminary notions, then it details some important facets as cooperation, coordination, planning and communication. " Le thème des systèmes multiagents (SMA), s'il n'est pas récent, est actuellement un champ de recherche très actif. Cette discipline est à la connexion de plusieurs domaines en particulier de l'intelligence artificielle, des systèmes informatique distribués et du génie logiciel. C'est une discipline qui s'intéresse aux comportements collectifs produits par les interactions de plusieurs entités autonomes et flexibles appelées agents, que ces interactions tournent autour de la coopération, de la concurrence ou de la coexistence entre ces agents. Cet article introduit, tout d'abord, les notions d'agents et de systèmes multiagents (SMAs), et détaille par la suite les différentes questions que soulèvent la problématique des SMAs, en particulier: les interactions et la coopération, la coordination, la planification et la communication.
