What is the difference between MultiAgent Systems and Distributed Computing

Viewed 2070

I'm curious about differences between distributed and multi-agent systems. I have seen many fundemental similarities and my mind is confused.

Similarities:

1- there are multiple processing units

2- both are used for computing and simulation applications

3- processing units interacting

4- processing units work collectively and become powerfull machine

5- units work with their own properties like own specific clock, own specific processor speed, own memory etc..

So what is the difference(s)?
