The networked dynamics of distributed natural and artificial intelligence agents leads to emerging complexity different from the ones observed before. In this study, we review and systematize different approaches in the distributed intelligence field, including the quantum domain. A definition and mathematical model of DIS (as a new class of systems) and its components, including a general model of DIS dynamics, are introduced. In particular, the suggested new model of DIS contains both natural (humans) and artificial (computer programs, chatbots, etc.) intelligence agents, which take into account their interactions and communications. We present the case study of domain-oriented DIS based on different agents\u2019 classes and show that DIS dynamics shows complexity effects observed in other well-studied complex systems. We examine our model by means of the platform of personal self-adaptive educational assistants (avatars), especially designed in our University. Avatars interact with each other and with their owners. Our experiment allows finding an answer to the vital question: How quickly will DIS adapt to owners\u2019 preferences so that they are satisfied? We introduce and examine in detail learning time as a function of network topology. We have shown that DIS has an intrinsic source of complexity that needs to be addressed while developing predictable and trustworthy systems of natural and artificial intelligence agents. Remarkably, our research and findings promoted the improvement of the educational process at our university in the presence of COVID-19 pandemic conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e22121437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,20]],"date-time":"2020-12-20T22:33:53Z","timestamp":1608503633000},"page":"1437","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Emerging Complexity in Distributed Intelligent Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1555-9371","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valentina","family":"Guleva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Cognitive Research, ITMO University, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5749-4222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Egor","family":"Shikov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Cognitive Research, ITMO University, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Klavdiya","family":"Bochenina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Cognitive Research, ITMO University, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8828-4615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergey","family":"Kovalchuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Cognitive Research, ITMO University, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Alodjants","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Cognitive Research, ITMO University, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Boukhanovsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Cognitive Research, ITMO University, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-6670(17)54466-3","article-title":"Human organizations as distributed intelligence systems","volume":"21","author":"Levis","year":"1988","journal-title":"IFAC Proc.
