Multi-Agent Systems – MQTT Laboratory

Overview

This repository contains the implementation of several laboratory exercises focused on MQTT communication and multi-agent systems.

The project is structured as a set of independent exercises, each addressing a specific aspect of distributed systems, agent coordination and communication. Each exercise is located in its own directory and documented with a dedicated README.md.

The global specifications of the laboratory are provided in MQTT_Lab.pdf.
